"This book aims to develop the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics, the theoretical account of interpretive (as opposed to explanatory) understanding--the account of meanings and contexts rather than causes and predictions--usually restricted to the domain of literary and textual analysis, in new directions by exploiting its potential as an instrument of critique. It refutes commonly held claims that hermeneutic analyses are necessarily relativistic, Eurocentric, or critically impotent and demonstrates how hermeneutic procedures can inform analyses of urgent current and cross-cultural issues such as the biology of race, female genital excision, and the so-called "culture of poverty" thesis. Lorenzo Simpson demonstrates that a robust methodology of philosophical hermeneutics is well positioned to intervene in critical political and social issues in global ethics and justice in concert with critical theory's emancipatory aims"--

Née d'une réflexion sur l'art d'interpréter les textes et sur la vérité des sciences humaines, l'herméneutique est devenue, grâce à Dilthey, Nietzsche et Heidegger, une philosophie universelle de l'interprétation. Elle a connu ses développements les plus conséquents et les plus influents dans les pensées de Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) et Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005). En se penchant sur ses origines, ses grands auteurs et les débats qu'ils ont suscités, mais aussi sur le sens de son universalité, Jean Grondin nous offre la première présentation synthétique du grand courant de l'herméneutique.
