Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyses Virginia Woolf’s novels through a philosophical lens, providing an interpretive overview of her works through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic ontology. The text argues that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolf’s novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their complexity and depth, it is both useful and helpful to comprehend the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed, interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist movement, and Woolf’s novels took part in this conversation. For his part, Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions, dedicating his life’s work to the concept of interpretation. Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation, arguing that it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many ways, Woolf’s novels represent an enactment of Gadamer’s philosophy, as they emphasize the radical questionability of the world—what this interpretive imperative requires of its participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other end, Gadamer’s philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied to Woolf’s novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the literary text and its interpretation participate in this universality and is shaped by it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hans-Georg Gadamer is depicted as a paradoxical figure in the literature. When his work is approached by itself, outside the history of hermeneutics, he is generally presented as the disciple of Martin Heidegger whose main theoretical contribution lies in having transposed his ontological hermeneutics into the sphere of the human sciences. Usually the master-student relation ends with a break between the two brought about by the student s desire to become herself a master. In Gadamer and Heidegger s case the possibility of such a symbolic parricide has always excluded by the scholarship. When Gadamer s work is approached in context, in the history of hermeneutics the position of the literature changes radically and he, not Heidegger, is revered as the central figure of hermeneutic theory in the 20th century, his teacher s work s well as those of Friedrich Schleiermacher and Dilthey his immediate forerunners being regarded as mere preambles to the great hermeneutic theory proposed by Truth and Method. While the works of those following him as addenda or footnotes to it. In most histories and historical introductions, textbooks and anthologies of hermeneutics the texts chosen as indicative for the subsequent development of hermeneutics after Truth and Method are texts relating in a direct manner to Gadamer s work if not dedicated explicitly and exclusively to it. The present book aims to dismantle this paradox by showing, on the one hand, that Gadamer s translation of Heidegger involved, as he himself says, a series of essential alterations to the original which make philosophical hermeneutics a more coherent and better articulated hermeneutic theory, one offering a more faithful description of the phenomenon of understanding than Heidegger s. And, on the other hand, by taking the dossier of the famous encounter between Gadamer and Derrida as its cue, it aims to show that this does nevertheless not mean that it would be an unsurpassable achievement in the field. For, in light of Derrida s deconstruction, it becomes apparent that, although necessary, every step forward from Heidegger as well as from Schleiermacher and Dilthey Gadamer takes is problematic in itself."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the most significant aspects of the evolutionary process which occurred in literary hermeneutics: the shift from interpretation perceived as a methodology of reading to the ontological function of exegesis. Through the discussion of the theories of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Eric Donald Hirsch, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur, it focuses on the metamorphosis of the concepts of meaning, interpretation and validity, and demonstrates how the correlative changes in the essence and functions of these three elements transformed the art of understanding from being a methodological discipline to an ontological instrument for a re-description of the interpreter’s self. The book highlights the development of those aspects of hermeneutic thought which are of particular significance in the contemporary debate over validity and criteria of interpretation. The vision of hermeneutics proposed here contradicts the supposedly anachronistic character of the art of understanding, and, through a permanent departure from essentialist views and categories, enables it to enter into a discussion with such literary orientations as neo-pragmatism and reader-response theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, internationally recognized scholars in philosophical hermeneutics discuss various aspects of language and linguisticality. The translations of Hans-Georg Gadamer's two recent essays provoke a preliminary discussion on the philosopher's polemic claim in Truth and Method--"Being that can be understood is language." Topics addressed by the contributors include the relationship of rituals to tradition and the immemorial; the unity of the word; conversation; translation and conceptuality; and the interrelationship between the art of writing and linguisticality. This work is of critical importance to anyone interested in Gadamer's claims regarding the boundaries of language, the transition from the prelinguistic to linguistic realms, and the role of rituals in this transition.
