Hans-Georg Gadamer on Knowledge - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 371 Knowledge/Gadamer: Knowledge always means (...) to go to the opposite at the same time. This is its superiority over partiality through the opinion that it understands to conceive of possibilities as possibilities. Knowledge is dialectical by nature. Knowledge can only have those who have questions, but questions encompass in themselves the opposites of yes and no, of the so and the other. >questions. Only because knowledge is dialectical in this comprehensive sense, there can be one that explicitly makes the contradiction of yes and no its object. The seemingly all too specific question whether the same science is possible from the opposite, therefore, contains the reason for the possibility of dialectics in general. >Dialectics/Aristoteles. Gadamer I 372 How can ignorance and questioning come about in the first place? (...) [It can] only come about in the way that an idea comes to mind. There is no methodical path to the thought (...) that is the solution. Idea: Every idea has the structure of the question. The idea of the question, however, is already the dive into the levelled breadth of the widespread opinion. >Doxa/Plato. We also say of the question that it arises, that it poses itself - much rather than that we rise or ask it. - - - Habermas III 193 Knowledge/Gadamer/HabermasVsGadamer/Habermas: Gadamer remains attached to the experience of the philologist who deals with classical texts. III 194 For him, the knowledge embodied in the text is fundamentally superior to the interpreter's knowledge. Habermas: This contrasts with the experience of the anthropologist, who learns that the interpreter does not always take the position of an inferior in comparison to a tradition._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
