In this paper I try to establish three claims. First, I try to identify the distance from Dilthey’s psychologism taken by Georg Misch in his hermeneutic reformulation of the philosophy of life. Secondly, I try to argue that the outcome of Misch’s criticism of transcendental and hermeneutic phenomenology is theintegration of a certain paradigm of constitutional analysis in the philosophy of life. Finally, I try to show that Misch’s project for a hermeneutic logic is quiterelevant to the process of conceptual construction in the human sciences. It is my contention that the common of denominator of the antipsychologist orientation,the elaboration on a constitutional theory, and the development of a hermeneutic logic is Misch’s critical reception of Kant’s transcendental logic.
