Hermeneutics - Interpreting Interpretations

On this episode of the podcast, we discuss Hermeneutics, or "the art of avoiding misunderstanding." First, we meet Johnny -- a disgruntled Philosophize This! listener who is bored and frustrated by episodes about philosophers who make unverifiable speculations about metaphysics.

  • Kant: A Very Short Introduction by Roger Scruton (1981)

  • Understanding Hermeneutics by Lawrence K. Schmidt (2006)​
