This book examines the distinctive contribution that the writings
of Hans-Georg Gadamer make to democratic theory. Walhof argues that
Gadamer's hermeneutical philosophy enlarges our perspective by
shifting our view away from individual citizens to what exists
between citizens, thereby allowing us to envision political
realities that are otherwise hard to see. These realities include
the disclosure of truth in democratic politics; achieving common
ground in democratic dialogue, even amidst significant disagreement
and diversity; the public and political nature of the religious
traditions that make claims on and shape citizens; and the
solidarities that connect us to each other and enable democratic
action. The author argues that bringing these dimensions to
awareness enriches our theories of democracy and is particularly
crucial in an era of hyper-partisanship, accelerating inequality,
and social conflicts involving racial, sexual, and religious
identities.
