Abstract

Discusses G. A. Widdershoven's hypothesis that contemporary hermeneutical philosophers believe that truth is neither absolute nor relative, which is based on the hermeneutical philosophies of Wittgenstein, Gadamer, and Habermas. However, to be representative of the thought of hermeneutical philosophers, one would need to include M. Heidegger's notion of geworfenheit, since this notion is instrumental in viewing the impact of non-rational factors on human thinking and "truth." 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
