Title Multilateral View of History: Gadamers Reappropriation of Heidegger
Summary My aim in this thesis is to show how Heidegger’s project of destruction and overcoming metaphysics is problematic. I show this through the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer, who is much more keen on our historically and linguistically situated character. The main contrast takes place between Heidegger’s orientation towards poetic language and Gadamer’s effort to find a new meaning within the living language. I also explore the themes of technology, subjectivism, and history, though in a limited scope.
