Description
This comprehensive introduction to philosophical hermeneutics covers the major figures from Philo to Habermas, providing a detailed analysis of conflicts between various interpretive schools. Jean Grondin offers a persuasive critique of Gadamer's view of hermeneutic history, while also drawing on Gadamer's influential work, Truth and Method.
Grondin's book spans pre-nineteenth-century thinkers to major nineteenth-century figures such as Schleiermacher, Böckh, Droysen, and Dilthey. He provides full chapters on Heidegger and Gadamer, as well as shorter discussions of other key thinkers. By examining the early history of hermeneutics, Grondin challenges the idea that its development was a gradual progression towards complete universalization.
This book is not just an introduction to the subject, but also a revisionary work that sheds new light on the history of hermeneutics. Suitable for both beginners and advanced students, it provides a nuanced understanding of this complex and influential field of philosophy.
