When Wilhelm Dilthey published his seminal work in the modern humanities,
Introduction to the Human Sciences (1883), his hopes were to outline the
future methods and objects of study of the Geisteswissenschaften, including
such disciplines as philosophy, philology, politics and literature. By
grouping them and clarifying their mutual relationships, he aimed to shed
light on ‘the most important components of our picture and knowledge of
reality—our own personality as a life-unit, the external world, other
individuals, their temporal life and their interactions.’

Today, as the workings of humanity are increasingly linked with the
destruction wrought by the Anthropocene, ‘the era of man,’ we feel compelled
to re-examine our links with human and other-than-human others ever more
closely. Confronting numerous crises, hostilities and conflicts, as well as
witnessing an unprecedented momentum of social, political, medical,
technological and linguistic change, we are now facing the challenge of
redefining our goals, policies and discourses within the field of the
humanities yet again.
