    Slide 1

    Speaker Notes Modern hermeneutics is a dynamic field that continues to evolve.


    New methods and theories are constantly being developed, reflecting the ever-
    changing world around us. As technology advances and our understanding of human
    communication deepens, so too will our approach to interpretation. This slide will
    discuss the ongoing development of modern hermeneutics.

    Content

    Evolving Interpretations
    New methods and theories emerge over time
    Reflects changing social and cultural contexts
    The Dialogical Nature of Meaning
    Meaning is created through ongoing conversation
    Text and reader influence each other

    Speaker Notes Modern hermeneutics recognizes that interpretation is not a fixed or


    final process. The meaning of a text can evolve over time as new perspectives and
    methods of analysis emerge. Our understanding is also shaped by our own
    experiences and biases, creating a dialogue between the text and the reader. This
    ongoing conversation is essential to creating a rich and meaningful interpretation. As
    our world continues to change, so too will our approach to hermeneutics. By
    embracing new ideas and perspectives, we can continue to unlock the deeper meaning
    of texts and gain a deeper understanding of the world around us.
    Slide 2

    Speaker Notes Friedrich Schleiermacher is a pivotal figure in the development of


    modern hermeneutics. He challenged traditional views of interpretation and
    introduced key concepts that continue to influence how we understand texts today.
    This slide will explore his idea of hermeneutics as an "art" of understanding.

    Content

    Interpretation as Art

    Not a rigid rule-based system

    Requires sensitivity and interpretation

    Speaker Notes Schleiermacher emphasizes that understanding a text is not a


    mechanical process but an art form. It requires the interpreter to have a sensitivity to
    the text and the ability to interpret its meaning. There is no one-size-fits-all approach,
    and understanding can deepen through repeated engagement with the text.

    Slide 3

    Speaker Notes Schleiermacher believed that a key aspect of interpretation is


    achieving a "union of minds" with the author. This involves reconstructing the
    author's thoughts and experiences through the text.

    Content

    Union of Minds

    Reconstruct author's thoughts & experiences

    Bridge gap in communication

    Speaker Notes Schleiermacher argues that through careful analysis of the text and its
    historical context, we can achieve a "union of minds" with the author. This means that
    we can gain a deeper understanding of the author's thoughts and experiences than they
    might have been able to articulate themselves. By bridging the gap in communication
    across time and culture, we can achieve a richer appreciation of the text's meaning.

    Speaker Notes One of Schleiermacher's most significant contributions to


    hermeneutics is his concept of going "beyond authorial intent." Traditionally,
    interpretation focused on recovering the exact meaning the author intended to convey.
    Schleiermacher argued that a text can have layers of meaning, and our own historical
    and cultural context can provide insights that the author might not have been fully
    aware of. This broader perspective allows for a richer understanding of the text.

    Content

    Beyond Authorial Intent

    Text has layers of meaning

    Our context offers new perspectives

    Deeper understanding than author intended

    Speaker Notes Schleiermacher challenged the idea that the sole purpose of
    interpretation is to recover the exact meaning the author intended to convey. He
    argued that a text can have layers of meaning, some of which may not have been fully
    conscious on the part of the author. Additionally, our own historical and cultural
    context can provide us with insights into the text that the author could not have
    anticipated. By considering these factors, we can achieve a deeper and more nuanced
    understanding of the text than the author themself might have envisioned. This
    broader perspective allows us to see the text in a new light and appreciate its enduring
    relevance.
    Slide 4
    Speaker Notes Dilthey's hermeneutics offer a unique method for bridging the gap
    between the interpreter and the world of human experience reflected in texts, history,
    and culture.

    Content

    Understanding the "Life-World" (Lebenswelt)

    Inner life, motivations, and values

    Critique of Positivism

    Scientific method limited for human experience

    Historicality

    Shaped by our time and place

    Speaker Notes One of Dilthey's key contributions is the concept of the "life-world"
    (Lebenswelt). This refers to the inner life, motivations, and values of individuals and
    cultures. By focusing on the Lebenswelt, we can move beyond simply analyzing
    external actions and gain a deeper understanding of the "why" behind human
    behavior. Dilthey also critiqued positivism, the philosophy of relying solely on
    objective data obtained through scientific methods. He argued that human experience
    is too complex and nuanced to be reduced to numbers and requires a more interpretive
    approach. Finally, Dilthey's concept of historicality acknowledges that we are all
    shaped by the time and place we live in. To understand someone or something from
    the past, we need to consider the historical context that influenced them.

    By combining these elements, Dilthey's hermeneutics provide a valuable framework


    for interpreting the human world, allowing us to connect with the past, understand the
    present, and create a richer perspective on the human experience.
    Slide 5
    Speaker Notes Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) was a philosopher who challenged
    traditional ways of thinking. He proposed hermeneutic phenomenology, a unique
    approach to understanding existence by looking at our everyday experiences.

    Content
    Beyond Textual Interpretation
    Not just analyzing historical documents
    Uncover meaning of existence through everyday life experiences

    Speaker Notes Traditionally, hermeneutics focused on interpreting texts or historical


    objects. Heidegger argued for a deeper approach. He aimed to use hermeneutics to
    understand the meaning of Being itself by examining how we experience the world
    around us.

    Speaker Notes Martin Heidegger, a prominent 20th-century philosopher,


    significantly impacted various fields, including hermeneutics (the study of
    interpretation). He challenged traditional philosophical approaches and offered a
    unique framework centered on three key ideas:

    Focus on Being: Heidegger's central philosophical question revolves around


    understanding the nature of existence itself. What does it mean to "be"?

    Hermeneutical Circle: This concept applies to how we interpret the world and even
    ourselves. Our pre-understandings shape how we approach new experiences, and
    these experiences, in turn, refine our understanding.

    Dasein and World: Dasein, a German term for "being-there," refers to human
    existence. We are not separate from the world (Welt) but rather constantly engaged
    with it, and this shapes our experiences and understanding.
    Slide 6
    Focus on Being
    What does it mean to exist?
    Traditional philosophy focused on objects, not Being itself
    Understanding Being is crucial for understanding ourselves and the world

    Speaker Notes Heidegger challenged traditional philosophy, which often focused on


    analyzing objects and their existence. He argued that a fundamental question had been
    neglected: What does it mean to be in the first place? Understanding Being itself is
    crucial to understanding ourselves and the world around us. Imagine a person
    standing on a cliff overlooking a vast ocean (pictured). Their experience of the ocean
    (awe, fear, wonder) is shaped by their very existence (Being) in that moment.

    SLIDE 7
     Cyclical nature of interpretation
     Pre-understandings shape how we approach something new
     New information challenges and refines our understanding

    Speaker Notes The Hermeneutical Circle is a concept not just for interpreting texts
    but for how we understand the world in general. It highlights the cyclical nature of
    interpretation. We come to new experiences or information with pre-understandings
    shaped by our past experiences and knowledge. These pre-understandings influence
    how we approach and interpret the new information. However, the encounter with the
    new information also challenges and potentially refines our pre-understandings. This
    creates a cycle of back-and-forth that informs our ever-evolving understanding.
    Imagine a spiral staircase (pictured); each step represents a refinement of our
    understanding based on the previous step.

    SLIDE 8

    Dasein and World (In-der-Welt-sein)


    Dasein: Human existence ("being-there")
    Not a fixed entity, but a way of being
    We are constantly engaged with the world (Welt)
    This shapes our experiences and understanding

    Speaker Notes Dasein, a German term for "being-there," refers to human existence.
    It's not a fixed, pre-defined entity but rather a way of being that is always engaged
    with the world (Welt). We are not separate observers of the world; we are constantly
    interacting with it and interpreting it. Imagine a person hiking in nature (pictured).
    Their experience of the natural world (peace, challenge, beauty) is shaped by their
    very act of being-in-the-world, their interaction with the environment.
