Between Explanation and Understanding
The Overview of an Investigation into the Function of Contradiction in the Explanatory Models of the Human Sciences

The present paper argues that although the problem of contradiction is particularly important within the domain of human sciences, a close examination of its function within the main methodological options has not yet been undertaken. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide an overview of a possible investigation into the function of contradiction in explanatory models of human sciences.
