The Theory of Comprehension in the Works of German philosophers of the XIX-XX centuries
The article examines the influence of German philosophy and the hermeneutic tradition on the emergence of the communicative agenda in early XX century philosophy. It appears that, before the XX century, philosophy stated the problem of comprehension as an essential factor of a persons cognitive activity and a factor in his individual being, which eventually allowed philosophers to investigate the comprehension problem in the context of the new communicative situation and new civilizational conditions of peoples existence.
