Beschreibung
In the present volume, the significance of judgment for the
understanding and evaluation of the interpretandum is
analyzed. It is a complex endeavor in which existing forms
of interpretation are examined and improved from the
standpoint of the current state of research. Subjective
interpretative approaches are corrected by recourse to a
commonly understood truth and are judged from the standpoint
of the commitment and consensus of scholars. Even if a work
or an interpretandum has been understood and interpreted
differently and pluralistically, this does not mean that all
presented and existing interpretations are equally valid,
acceptable, and defensible. Therefore, it is important and
necessary in any process of understanding to strive for a
proper assessment of the work or interpretandum. The
contributions are from the conference held at the University
of Zadar (2018), Relevance of Hermeneutic Judgment.
Jure Zovko (* 1957), is a full professor of
