Hans-Georg Gadamer  

Definición

  • Hans-Georg Gadamer, strongly influenced by his revered teacher, Martin Heidegger (1889–1976), argued that understanding cannot be instrumentalized, as René Descartes (1596–1650) famously claimed. Rather, it depends on the work of tradition (and its prejudices), which is never fully conscious, exceeds efforts to fix its meaning, and eludes method. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Gadamer, Hans-Georg]
