Work

Ginev’s work engages features of hermeneutic philosophizing,[3] and aims at mediating between Continental and Analytic ways of thinking.[4] The project of this effort at mediation undertakes a gradual change of the established metaphysico-epistemological identities of the sciences in favor of ones shaped by the interpretative reflexivity of the research processes. In sum, the path leads from hermeneutic theory of science via an ontological conception of social practices to an interpretative theory of cultural forms of life.

Ginev’s hermeneutic

realism states that the facticity of scientific practices cannot be separated from objectified factuality.[5] From this perspective, reality – as revealed by research practices, here see the work of Patrick Aidan Heelan and Hans-Jörg Rheinberger
– manifests itself in the continuous pre-structuring of factual structures.

Ginev also proposed a hermeneutic version of social theory, arguing that a reality sui generis should be attributed to interrelated social practices.[6] In his earlier work, investigating the genesis of cultural forms of life, he justified the peculiarity of the social as an interweaving of practices.[7]  The concept of the political elaborated by Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe plays an important role in shaping this view. His later work on social theory of social practices is oriented more towards practice theory.[8]  Criticizing the attachment of the theoretical consideration of social practices to the problem of corporeality, Ginev focuses on expanding the concept of facticity. Theory of the narrativity of social practices, drawn from Ginev's reading of Wilhelm Schapp's philosophy, complements this amplified concept of facticity.[9] Ginev argues that any approach to the facticity of the social requires double hermeneutics, which results from the interaction of a methodological interpretation and a phenomenological constitution theory.[10]
