H.G. Gadamer
Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was a German philosopher known for his significant contributions to hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, particularly of texts and artworks. His seminal work, 'Truth and Method', explores the nature of understanding and the role of language and tradition in shaping our perceptions. Gadamer emphasized that understanding is a dialogical process, influenced by the historical and cultural context of both the interpreter and the text, highlighting the importance of conversation in achieving deeper insights.
