Opis

Hermeneutics is a major theoretical and practical form of intellectual enquiry, central not only to philosophy but many other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. With phenomenology and existentialism, it is also one of the twentieth century s most important philosophical movements and includes major thinkers such as Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur. The Routledge Companion to Hermeneutics is an outstanding guide and reference source to the key philosophers, topics and themes in this exciting subject and is the first volume of its kind.

Comprising over fifty chapters by a team of international contributors the Companion is divided into five parts:

• main figures in the hermeneutical tradition movement, including Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur
• main topics in hermeneutics such as language, truth, relativism and history
• the engagement of hermeneutics with central disciplines such as literature, religion, race and gender, and art
• hermeneutics and world philosophies including Asian, Islamic and Judaic thought
• hermeneutic challenges and debates, such as critical theory, structuralism and phenomenology.

Recenzje

Quite possibly the single most comprehensive treatment of philosophical hermeneutics available in English, this volume includes contributions by a diverse body of international scholars on nearly every aspect, figure, and historical period of this multifaceted tradition. ... [T] his useful volume - with its incredibly ambitious vision - is impressive in terms of both scope and depth. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - CHOICE

"Malpas and Gander have assembled an outstanding array of essays on hermeneutics by the leading theorists and practitioners of our day. Breathtaking in scope and depth, these essays situate hermeneutics at the center of ongoing dialogue between disciplines and traditions, and introduce readers to thinkers, topics, and debates without sacrificing the rigour of genuine philosophical thinking. I believe that this collection will come to be seen as the very best companion to hermeneutical thinking for our generation." - Charles Bambach, University of Texas-Dallas, USA

"This Companion is impressive in scope and unique in the diversity of the perspectives represented in it. Thanks to the high quality of the individual chapters and its inclusive view of the field, the volume should become the standard reference work on philosophically oriented hermeneutics." - Steven Crowell, Rice University, USA
