Quote by Gadamer, Hans-Georg
"We do not come to texts with empty minds; we come with questions, hopes, and preunderstandings that shape what we discover."
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."
