Hans-Georg Gadamer on Distance - Dictionary of Arguments
I 302 Temporal Distance/Distance/Hermeneutics/Gadamer: (...) the temporal distance is (...) not something that has to be overcome. This was rather the naive premise of historism, that one should put oneself in the spirit of the time, that one should think in its terms and conceptions and not in one's own and in this way be able to advance to historical objectivity. GadamerVsHistorism: In truth, it is important to recognize the distance of time as a positive and productive possibility of understanding. Heidegger/Gadamer: (...) only from the ontological turn, which Heidegger gave to understanding as an "existential", and the temporal interpretation, which he dedicated to the way of being of existence, the temporal distance could be thought in its hermeneutical productivity. I 303 The temporal distance apparently has another meaning than that of killing one's own interest in the object. It only allows the true meaning that lies in a thing to fully emerge. But the exhaustion of the true meaning that lies in a text or in an artistic creation does not come to a conclusion somewhere, but is in truth an infinite process. I 304 Prejudice/Hermeneutics: Often the time gap is able to make the actually critical question of hermeneutics solvable, namely to separate the true prejudices, which we understand, from the false ones, which we misunderstand. >Prejudice/Gadamer. The hermeneutically trained consciousness therefore includes historical consciousness. >Understanding/Gadamer, >Hermeneutics, >Hermeneutics/Gadamer._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
