Beschreibung
Gadamer’s Hermeneutics and the Art of Conversation covers the
nature of dialogue and understanding in Hans-Georg Gadamer’s lingually
oriented hermeneutics and its relevance for contemporary philosophy. This
timely collection of essays stresses the fundamental significance of the
other for a further development of Heidegger’s analytics of Dasein. By
recognizing the priority of the other over oneself, Gadamerian
hermeneutics founds a culture of dialogue sorely needed in our
multi-cultural globalized community. The essays solicited for this volume
are presented in three thematic blocks: “Hermeneutic Conversation,”
“Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, and Transcendence,” “Hermeneutic Ethics,
Education, and Politics.” The volume proposes a dynamic understanding of
hermeneutics as putting into practice the art of conversation.
