The Roots of Hermeneutics in Kant's Reflective-Teleological Judgment

More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument that the origins of modern hermeneutics are rooted in the dialectic of reflective and teleological reason as articulated by Kant, rather than starting with Friedrich Ast and Friedrich Schleiermacher. It explores how Kant's philosophical framework laid the groundwork for later developments in interpretation theory, offering a fresh perspective on the evolution of hermeneutics and its foundational concepts. Through this lens, it reexamines the historical narrative surrounding the discipline's beginnings.
