Hans-Georg Gadamer on Expectations - Dictionary of Arguments
I 272 Expectation/Understanding/Hermeneutics/Gadamer: The fact that someone who speaks the same language understands the words he or she uses in a familiar sense like me is a general prerequisite that can only be questioned in individual cases - and the same applies in the case of the foreign language that we think we know in an average way and presuppose this average use of language when understanding a text. What is true of the pre-opinion of language use is no less true of the pre-opinion of content with which we read texts and I 273 that make up our pre-understanding. >Understanding, >Prior knowledge, >Hermeneutics. The question here is just as much how one is to find one's way out of the spell of one's own pre-opinions. Certainly it cannot be a general prerequisite that what we are told in a text fits in seamlessly with my own opinions and expectations. Cf. Philosophical theories about the >Principle of charity, >Hermeneutic Circle/Heidegger._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
