Understanding and Dialogue: What I Have Learned from H. G. Gadamer

Understanding, dialogue, interpretation, attention, and openness are essential ingredients of meaningful interpersonal relationships. They also happen to be central themes in one of the most important contributions to contemporary thought - H. G. Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. In this episode, I relate some of the ways in which he has influenced me.

Hi, I am Ante Jeroncic, and on this channel, I explore different matters existential. Thus, the name: Artis Vivendi—The Craft of Living. I am interested primarily in the overlapping spaces where theology, philosophy, wisdom traditions, literature, behavioral sciences, and self-development literature meet on the question of the good life. I teach ethics, philosophy, and theology at Andrews University.
