Abstract
In this chapter, I offer up an approach to «meaning» that does not make an appeal to ideal entities of which our this-worldly words are only shadows. The approach is called the documentary method and has been developed for the purpose of determining the methodological structure and the logical position of the notion of worldview (Mannheim 1921–22/2004).
