Toward a Hermeneutics of Spirit"The work begins by drawing a contrast between the emphasis placed on the author, characteristic of the romantic hermeneutics of Schleiermacher, and the more contemporary emphasis on the text, as may be seen in Gadamer, Ricoeur, the Deconstructionists, etc. These two emphases are understood as concentrating primarily on the intention of the author, on the one hand, and on the intent or intents of the text, on the other. These two are joined in a hermeneutic that attempts to divine the author/text relationship."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved |

Page 13 - Schleiermacher describes the hermeneutical task as follows: to reconstruct the creative act that begins with the generation of thoughts which captivate the author, and to understand how the requirement of the moment could draw upon the living treasure of words in the author's mind in order to produce just this way of putting it and no other.
