Abstract

The article is an analysis of the meaning of autobiography and biography in Dilthey’s hermeneuticsof the historical life. In this way, it shows Dilthey’s influence on the concept ofin contemporary philosophy. Starting from the methodological and epistemological aspectof research on the autobiography, this article shows the role of autobiography in selfunderstanding,and in understanding their own identity.
