Hans-Georg Gadamer on Method - Dictionary of Arguments
I 295 Method/Gadamer: Understanding itself is not so much to be thought of as an act of subjectivity, but rather as an engagement with an event of tradition in which past and present are constantly communicated. This is what has to come into play in hermeneutic theory, which is far too much dominated by the idea of a procedure, i.e. a method. >Cultural Transmission, >Interpretation/Gadamer. I 300 Method/Hermeneutics/Gadamer: [A Tension] plays between the strangeness and familiarity that tradition has for us, between the historically meant, distant representationalism and belonging to a tradition. In this in-between is the true place of hermeneutics. From the intermediate position in which hermeneutics has to take its stand, it follows that its task is not at all to develop a procedure of understanding, but to clarify the conditions under which understanding occurs. >Hermeneutics/Gadamer. However, these conditions are by no means all of the kind of "procedure" or method, so that one as the one who understands them is able to apply them of his own accord - they must I 301 rather be given. The prejudices that occupy the interpreter's consciousness are not as such at his or her free disposal. He or she is not able to separate in advance of his or her own accord the productive prejudices that make understanding possible from those prejudices that prevent understanding and lead to misunderstandings. >Prejudice, >Understanding. I 304 Method/Gadamer: GadamerVsHistorism: The naivety of so-called historism consists in the fact that it evades (...) reflection ((s) on its own preconditions) and, trusting in the methodology of its procedure, forgets its own historicity. ((s) Since methods must be capable of generalization, they cannot be designed for changeability from the outset). >Historism. - - - Graeser I 85 Gadamer / Graeser: Truth and Method (1965) - Vs contrast between systematics and history - undermines the distinction between creation and context of justification. - Sellars ditto: has no secured bank. - Truth: is then not the ultimate, but what you do with it. -> Pragmatism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
