Providing a comprehensive engagement with the work of Hans-Herbert Kögler, this is the first volume to expand upon and critique his distinctive approach to critical theory: critical hermeneutics.
In the current climate of crisis, the relevance and fruitfulness of Kögler”s work has never been greater, as he fuses the philosophies of Michel Foucault, Hans Georg Gadamer, and his mentor, Jürgen Habermas, to respond to critical international issues surrounding politics, agency, and society. Working towards a truly non-ethno-centric and global conception of intercultural dialogue, an essential aspect of Kögler”s critical hermeneutics is his account of selfhood as reflexive: socially situated, embodied, and linguistically articulated, permeated by power, but yet critical and creative.
Leading international scholars, representing a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, build upon Kögler”s approach in this volume and explore the methodological, theoretical, and applicative scope of critical hermeneutics beyond the Frankfurt School. In doing so, they address some of the most pressing issues facing global society today, from multilingual education to the urgent need for interreligious and intercultural understanding.
Closing with a response
from Kögler himself,
Hans-Herbert Kögler”s Critical Hermeneutics also offers an exclusive account of the philosopher”s contemporary re-appraisal of the core tenets of critical hermeneutics.
