The problem of objectivity in Gadamer's hermeneutics in light of McDowell's empiricism

Morten S Thaning

Abstract

Dr. Steven Crowell, Rice University, Houston (USA)

 

Morten Thaning's book is an important contribution to the discourse of philosophical hermeneutics. Thaning extensively discusses a topic, which recent debates have touched upon, but which up to now has not been the subject matter of concentrated scholarly work: the relation between Gadamer's hermeneutics and McDowell's empiricism. With Thaning's interpretation Gadamer" work can be read anew as concerning the problem of hermeneutical objectivity.

Prof. Dr. Günter Figal, University of Freiburg (Germany)
