Gadamer's hermeneutics

Gadamer's hermeneutics is the study of how we interpret texts, statements, and experiences. He believes understanding is a dynamic process that involves a dialogue between the reader and the text, shaped by our existing beliefs, history, and context. This "fusion of horizons" means that our perspective influences interpretation, but over time, engaging deeply can broaden our understanding. It's not about uncovering a single, objective meaning but recognizing that meaning evolves through conversation and reflection, emphasizing that understanding is an ongoing, interpretive journey rather than a fixed goal.
