This booklet asks back: what does knowing denote in a space the place guy attempts to appreciate guy, the place self-understanding is concerned, the place new realizing instantly turns into a part of that that is to be understood? What will we understand and what's the use and quandary of data in sociology? while are we unsleeping that we all know and understand?

He investigates the family members among different types of figuring out, and examines the hot chances of figuring out made to be had, for instance, by way of psychoanalytical and phenomenological insights, in addition to via these of poets, artists, mystics. He exhibits that during the social and humanistic sciences, artistic or constitutive contributions light up instead of exhibit, and that, for that reason, sociology has now not but discovered a suitable approach for conveying them with out severe distortions.
