Seiffert's already classic, easy-to-understand introduction to the "holistic" humanities methods of phenomenology, hermeneutics, historiography, and dialectics includes numerous additional sections since the 8th edition: on "oral history," on the problem of source terms, on the fashionable critique of historicism, on Thomas Kuhn, and on the "Annales ", on the central pair of terms "historical/systematic". The dialectics chapter offers an elementary introduction to Hegel and Marx and discusses Georg Lukacs and Jürgen Habermas. Seiffert demonstrates that the humanities also have an exact methodology that equals that of the natural sciences in sharpness and surpasses it in depth.
