Heidegger
Hans Georg Gadamer
- ontological hermeneutics
- fusion of horizons - dialectical relations between texts of past and understanding of present self - Gadamer's version of the hermeneutic circle
- challenges scientific approaches - truth & objectivity - the endpoint of knowledge (Emilio Betti, Eric D. Hirsch)
Habermas
- Gadamer negates ability to reason free from history & context (Rawls?)
- Gadamer not entirely wrong, but mistakenly posits universality of hermeneutics
- solution: universal pragmatics - communicative rationality - hermeneutics + emancipation
Ricoeur
- need emancipation & critical reflection, but this doesn't require abandoning the texts of the past - potentiality for transcendance through historical texts
Derrida
Richard Rorty
(to be cont.)
