Gadamers philosophische Hermeneutik: Einflüsse, Wirkungen, Debatten
Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics: influences, effects, debates

Summary/Abstract: At a time when narrow scientific and philosophical specialization dominates our academic landscape and by which respective competence is also measured, a thinking that unfolds in broad ways is always viewed with some suspicion. This, however, is not the case of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. Even though it has triggered various debates, e.g., on the part of Habermas, Derrida, Ricoeur and others, Gadamer's influence and impact is still present today in the most diverse fields of philosophy and the humanities. The editorial takes up some of these debates and shows their continuing effects on contemporary philosophy and their importance for the sociocultural hermeneutics of any shape.
