This module examines hermeneutics as a theory of understanding and interpretation and in particular its development from being a method used to interpret texts to being seen as a central feature of the way the human understanding itself unfolds in human existence. The module will start with a short overview of the historical setting and then focus on the development of hermeneutics in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, taking into consideration important thinkers such as: Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricoeur.
