Description
This text adresses the timely topic of relativism from the perspective of Gadamer's hermeneutics. This collection of essays explores several of the key issues in contemporary philosophy - the nature of truth, the model of conversation, and the possibility of an ethics in postmodern conditions - in the context of the work of Gadamer. Although centred on Gadamer and including the first English translation of one of his essays, the volume does not narrowly define or defend the approach of philosophical hermeneutics; the contributors present a broad range of views, in some cases championing a Gadamerian perspective, in others challenging it.
Table of Contents
- On the composition of "Truth and Method", Jean Grondin
- hermeneutical truth and the structure of human experience - Gadamer's critique of Dilthey, Tom Nenon
- Gadamer's hermeneutic and the overcoming of epistemology, Tom Rockmore
- understanding, interpreting and agreeing, Lawrence K. Schmidt
- three puzzles from Gadamer's hermeneutics, Joseph Margolis
- Caputo's critique of Gadamer - hermeneutics and the metaphorics of person, Frank Ambrosio
- hermeneutics of the possible - on finitude and truth in philosophical hermeneutics, James Risser
- on the truth of the word, Hans-Georg Gadamer
