The Problem of Objectivity in Gadamer's Hermeneutics in Light of McDowell's Empiricism

Engaging with Gadamer's hermeneutics through the lens of John McDowell's minimal empiricism, this book explores the foundations of objective experience and understanding while emphasizing the historicity of interpretation. It reinterprets key concepts such as tradition, practical wisdom, and meaning, proposing a hermeneutical view of objectivity and perceptual experience. By bridging the analytic and Continental philosophical divide, it revitalizes hermeneutics as a significant philosophical approach with both transcendental and ontological implications.
