{"product_id":"relational-hermeneutics-paul-fairfield-9781350161696","title":"Relational Hermeneutics: Essays in Comparative Philosophy","description":"Investigating connections between philosophical hermeneutics and neighbouring traditions of thought, this volume considers the question of how post-Heideggerian hermeneutics, as represented by Gadamer, Ricoeur and recent scholars following in their wake, relate to these traditions, both in general terms and bearing upon specific questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe traditions covered in this volume-existentialism, pragmatism, poststructuralism, Eastern philosophy, and hermeneutics itself-are all characterized by significant internal diversity, adding to the difficulty in reaching an interpretation that is at once comparative and critical. None of these traditions represent a unified system of belief; all are umbrella terms which are at once useful and imprecise, and the differences internal to each must not to be understated.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAn innovative work of comparative philosophy, this volume avoids oversimplification and offers specific analyses that treat hermeneutics in relation to particular themes and key figures in each of these traditions of thought. Philosophical hermeneutics is explicitly dialogical, and it is in this spirit that the authors of this book approach their subjects, revealing the important affinities and opportunities for mutually enriching conversations which have until now been overlooked.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Fairfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350161691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350161696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continnuum-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Paul Fairfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44064354992383,"sku":"9781350161696","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c01426c6-502b-4729-b0f9-75b14f0026c0.jpg?v=1685394989","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/relational-hermeneutics-paul-fairfield-9781350161696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
