This book provides an innovative approach to meeting the challenges
faced by philosophical hermeneutics in interpreting an
ever-changing and multicultural world. Rudolf A Makkreel proposes
an orientational and reflective conception of interpretation in
which judgment plays a central role. Moving beyond the dialogical
approaches found in much of contemporary hermeneutics, he focuses
instead on the diagnostic use of reflective judgment, not only to
discern the differentiating features of the phenomena to be
understood, but also to orient us to the various contexts that can
frame their interpretation. Makkreel develops overlooked resources
of Kant's transcendental thought in order to reconceive
hermeneutics as a critical inquiry into the appropriate contextual
conditions of understanding and interpretation. He shows that a
crucial task of hermeneutical critique is to establish priorities
among the contexts that may be brought to bear on the
interpretation of history and culture. The final chapter turns to
the contemporary art scene and explores how orientational contexts
can be reconfigured to respond to the ways in which media of
communication are being transformed by digital technology.
Altogether, Makkreel offers a promising way of thinking about the
shifting contexts that we bring to bear on interpretations of all
kinds, whether of texts, art works, or the world.
