Johann Martin Chladenius on Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments
Gadamer I 186 Interpretation/Chladenius/Gadamer: Understanding and interpretation are (...) not the same for Chladenius (§ 648). It is quite clear that for him the need for interpretation of a passage is basically a special case, and that one generally understands a passage directly, as long as one knows the matter which is dealt with in the passage, whether one is reminded of the matter by the passage, or whether one reaches knowledge of the matter only through the passage (§ 682). Thus, there is no doubt that for the understanding here, the expert knowledge, the factual insight, Gadamer I 187 the decisive factor are still necessary - it is not a historical nor even a psychological and genetic procedure. Interpretation/Chladenius: Nevertheless, the author is fully aware that the art of interpretation has taken on a new and special urgency, provided that the art of interpretation simultaneously provides the justification for the interpretation. This is apparently not necessary as long as "the student is in agreement with the interpreter" (so that the "understanding" becomes clear to him without "proof") or "because of the good faith against the interpreter". Both conditions no longer seem to him to be fulfilled in his time, the second insofar as (in the sign of the Enlightenment) "the students want to see with their own eyes", the first, insofar as with increasing knowledge of things, i.e. with the progress of science - the darkness of the passages to be understood becomes ever greater (§ 668 f.). Gadamer: The need for hermeneutics is thus given precisely with the dwindling of the self-understanding. >Hermeneutics/Chladenius, >Perspective/Chladenius. 1.
