解釈学とは、私たちの毎日と切り離すことのできない「解釈する」という事を体系的に扱う学問の一分野です。知は解釈にどのように介在していて、解釈とはどのような過程を経て行われるのでしょうか。本書では解釈学の歴史を振り返りながら重要な要素を洗い出し、神学・文学・法学などの応用領域や、自然科学や社会科学といったその他の幅広い分野でどのように用いられているかを紹介します。そして今日の社会や政治を見通す上での解釈学の重要性を示します。
   

  • Demonstrates the multidisciplinary application of hermeneutic theory
  • Traces the historical development of hermeneutics from early Greek times to the modern day
  • Reveals the potential for applying hermeneutic theory to contemporary problems in education

 
Hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, a behaviour that is intrinsic to our daily lives. As humans, we decipher the meaning of newspaper articles, books, legal matters, religious texts, political speeches, emails, and even dinner conversations every day . But how is knowledge mediated through these forms? What constitutes the process of interpretation? And how do we draw meaning from the world around us so that we might understand our position in it? 

In this Very Short Introduction Jens Zimmermann traces the history of hermeneutic theory, setting out its key elements, and demonstrating how they can be applied to a broad range of disciplines: theology; literature; law; and natural and social sciences. Demonstrating the longstanding and wide-ranging necessity of interpretation, Zimmermann reveals its significance in our current social and political landscape.

"Zimmerman offers one of the best short introductions to modern hermeneutics. The writing is at all times concise, clear and engaging. The author brilliantly evaluates the riches of this major intellectual tradition as well as revealing its ongoing creative influence on contemporary thought." - Richard Kearney, Charles Seelig Professor at Boston College and author of Anatheism and Carnal Hermeneutics.
  

"An excellent introduction to that most characteristic of human activities, the attempt to understand. From the key figures in the development of the discipline to the application of their ideas in various fields, the reader is shown what it means to think hermeneutically and invited to do so as well." - Fr. John Behr, Dean, St Vladimir's Seminary
  

"The Introduction clearly points to the major issues involved in hermeneutics. Jens Zimmermann writes excellently for a wide audience and the references to texting and to digital worlds gives it a contemporary feel." - Graham Ward, Regius Professor of Divinity, Christ Church Oxford, Director of Graduate Studies New York
