| Hearing: Hearing is the ability to perceive sound through the ear. It is a complex process that involves the detection of sound waves and their conversion into nerve signals that are interpreted by the brain. In this context, philosophy is about oral tradition, among other things. See also Cultural tradition, Writing._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Hans-Georg Gadamer on Hearing - Dictionary of Arguments
I 466 Hearing/Gadamer: If we want to correctly define the concept of belonging, which is what matters here [for hermeneutics], we must (...) take into account the peculiar dialectic that is situated in hearing. Not only that whoever hears is addressed, so to speak. Rather, this also lies in the fact that whoever is addressed must hear whether he or she wants to or not. This difference between seeing and hearing is important for us because the priority of hearing underlies the hermeneutic phenomenon, as Aristotle already recognized(1). >Hermeneutics, >Hermeneutics/Gadamer, >Speaking. Gadamer: While all other senses have no direct share in the universality of linguistic world experience, but only open up their specific fields, hearing is a path to the whole, because it is able to listen to the logos. >Logos, >Language, >Understanding. I 467 Transmission/Tradition: [It] has always been, above all through use of scripture, the true essence of hearing that the hearer is able to listen to the legend, myth, truth of the ancients. The literary transmission of transmission as we know it, on the other hand, means nothing new, but only changes the form and makes the task of real hearing more difficult. Belonging: the truth of tradition is the present, which is directly open to the senses. Cf. >Seeing, >Writing. 1. Arist. De sensu 473 a, 3 and in addition Met. 980 b 23-25. The primacy of hearing over seeing is one mediated by the universality of the Logos, which does not contradict the specific primacy of seeing over all other senses, which Aristotle (Met. A 1) emphasizes. (Cf. "Seeing, hearing, reading" FS Sühnel, Heidelberg 1984.)_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
