Quote by Gadamer, Hans-Georg
"The alienation of modern life stems partly from our attempt to escape tradition rather than to interpret it anew."
More from Gadamer, Hans-Georg
"Understanding is not a state of rest but a state of play."
"Language is the universal medium in which understanding itself is realized."
"Genuine historical thinking must think away the distance and difference of the times."
"The hermeneutic experience is concerned with the otherness of the other."
