Description: Hermeneutics : A Very Short Introduction, Paperback by Zimmermann, Jens, ISBN 0199685355, ISBN-13 9780199685356, Brand New, Free shipping in the US 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 Zimmerman 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, Zimmerman reveals its signifiance in our current social and political landscape.
