Hermeneutics, as a discipline of the humanities, is often assumed
to be in thrall to the same subjectivity of every interpretive
method, in direct contrast to the objectivity prized by the natural
sciences. This book argues that there is a false dichotomy here,
and that ancient and modern ideas of knowledge can be utilized to
create a new active form of hermeneutics. One capable of creating a
standard by which to judge better and worse models of
understanding. This book explores decisive aspects over which the
future of hermeneutics-a future inexplicably tied to a history of
hermeneutics-will continue to struggle, namely the limits and
possibilities of situated human understanding. This book is located
in the middle of a number of major, converging discussions within
contemporary intellectual discourse. Drawing upon a wide range of
ancient and modern hermeneutical thought, including Aristotle,
Bernstein, Heidegger, Kant, and Gadamer, the result is a
hermeneutical approach that pushes beyond the traditional limits of
human understanding. This is a bold attempt to move hermeneutics
into a new phase. As such, it will be of significant interest to
scholars and academics working in General Hermeneutics, Theology,
and the Philosophy of Religion.
