In Unquiet Understanding, Nicholas Davey reappropriates the radical
content of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics to reveal that it
offers a powerful critique of Nietzsche's philosophy of language,
nihilism, and post-structuralist deconstructions of meaning. By
critically engaging with the practical and ethical implications of
philosophical hermeneutics, Davey asserts that the importance of
philosophical hermeneutics resides in a formidable double claim
that strikes at the heart of both traditional philosophy and
deconstruction. He shows that to seek control over the fluid nature
of linguistic meaning with rigid conceptual regimes or to despair
of such fluidity because it frustrates hope for stable meaning is
to succumb to nihilism. Both are indicative of a failure to
appreciate that understanding depends upon the vital instability of
the word.
