Notes: Summary Social scientists and philosophers writing in English have used the German word “Verstehen” as a technical term. Some say thatVerstehen is distinctive of the social sciences. I examine the three most prominent characterizations ofVerstehen: (1) as a method, (2) as a kind of explanation, (3) as a way of validating explanations. Comparison of the theories underlying (1), (2) and (3) with actual practice in the social sciences showVerstehen to be an ill-defined but promising concept.
