Scott Masson

Romanticism, Hermeneutics and the Crisis of the Human Sciences

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This study begins by surveying the field of modern hermeneutics. Noting its repeated crises of self-legitimisation, it traces these to circular beliefs bequeathed by Romanticism that human nature is self-begetting, and can thus be known intimately and autonomously.
