advancement of research science in particular of hermeneutical social research according to the principles of objective hermeneutics oh a research methodology which emerged during the 1970s in germany see oh in google books or google scholar in one of the rare translated english texts in which this methodology has been presented and justified its founders declared our approach has grown out of the empirical study of family interactions as well as reflection upon the procedures of interpretation employed in our research for the time being we shall refer to it as objective hermeneutics in order to distinguish it clearly from traditional hermeneutic techniques and orientations the general significance for sociological analysis of objective hermeneutics issues from the fact that in the social sciences interpretive methods constitute the fundamental procedures of measurement and of the generation of research data relevant to theory from our perspective the standard nonhermeneutic methods of quantitative social research can only be justified because they permit a shortcut in generating data and research economy comes about under specific conditions whereas the conventional methodological attitude in the social sciences justifies qualitative approaches as exploratory or preparatory activities to be succeeded by standardized approaches and techniques as the actual scientific procedures assuring precision validity and objectivity we regard hermeneutic procedures as the basic method for gaining precise and valid knowledge in the social sciences however we do not simply reject alternative approaches dogmatically they are in fact useful wherever the loss in precision and objectivity necessitated by the requirement of research economy can be condoned and tolerated in the light of prior hermeneutically elucidated research experiences oevermann et al 1987 german original oevermann et al 1979 the association was founded in frankfurt am main germany on september 19 1992 by scholars of various disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences its goal is to provide all scholars using this methodology with a means for steady and continual exchange and a platform spanning those disciplines in which the methodology is being used the association also seeks to diffuse the general principles of its methodological approach among colleagues at least once a year usually on the first weekend in september the association hosts a two day conference for members and non members these conferences provide an opportunity for discussing methodological problems and research results the conference format allows sufficient time to discuss each paper in detail more than is sometimes granted at similar conferences in this way the association seeks to pay heed to the fact that research projects designed according to the standards of the objective hermeneutic s sequential analysis will not usually be presentable within a restricted time frame because each presenter is usually granted 75 minutes for their presentation including discussion the total number of papers read at the conference is limited in addition these conferences make it possible to present objective hermeneutic research to colleagues not working with this approach in the social sciences as well as the humanities and to do so with a clear thematic reference in order to facilitate such an exchange the association invites to these conferences scientists who do not work with this methodology we seek to publish the most important papers presented at these conferences and we try to add to these volumes related papers that have not been presented but which are of relevance to its thematic focus and in keeping with our methodological standards in this way the results of objective hermeneutic research will be made available to a larger audience in a given field the association will provide the financial support needed for these publications which will be part of the book series forschungsbeiträge aus der objektiven hermeneutik which is published with humanities online in frankfurt germany if you are interested in an online course on objective hermeneutics in english please email us we will collect such expressions of interest and help organize an offering details last updated 01 march 2026 contact us association for objective hermeneutics postal address c o prof in dr
