In his Self-Understanding of Pedagogical Science in the Present Age (Das Selbstverständnis der Erziehungswissenschaft in der Gegenwart, 1958), Wilhelm Flitner has defined the fundamental characteristic of pedagogy as science as 'hermeneutic and pragmatic'. This attitude maybe interpreted as belonging to that of so-called 'world in-between' (Zwischen-welt), where the factual empirical is so to speak, dialectically united with the theoretical and dogmatic.It seems that this definition, in spite of many problematic points it contains, is rapidly gaining ground in Germany, and becoming a well-established concept. However, although Flintner himself has repeatedly warned its danger, the lack of proper understanding and due caution in applying this concept to the actual procedure has given rise to various difficulties or confusions in the study of pedagogy. Therefore, we should examine, first, the fundamental principles of this theory, and secondly, where its problems or dangers are found.The content of the paper may be summarized under following items; (1) the general examination; (2) Döpverwalt's criticism of Flitner; (3) the discussion of the 'pedagogical responsibility' (die Pädagogische Verantwortung) as an important factor in the 'world in-between'; and (4) Werner Linke's criticism of Flitner's theory, together with the problems lying in the criticism.
