(3) One consequence of the hermeneutic (narrative or interpretive science) circle is that it puts to rest the claim that it is possible to approach an object in a neutral manner, open to all possibilities. Rather, we always come to our object of study with a set of prejudgments: an idea of what the problem is, what type of information we are looking for, and what will count as an answer.
