 Of interest, also, are those studies in philosophical hermeneutics placing Mead in the tradition of Dilthey, Heidegger, and Gadamer (Côté 2021; Jung 1995; Taylor 2019). In recognizing the early influence of Dilthey on Mead while a student in Berlin, we can begin to see how and where their interrelated interests developed similarities and differences, particularly as they relate to the natural and social sciences. Returning to their student-teacher relationship serves as a springboard for contemporary philosophical debates regarding the primacy of experience and life-processes, the significance of historical situatedness, and the overcoming of the traditional separation of theory and praxis (Jung 1995).
