The Historicity of Understanding and the Problem of Relativism in Gadamer's Philosophical Hermeneutics (1st Edition) by Osman Bilen is a scholarly exploration of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, with a special focus on two central themes: historicity of understanding and the challenge of relativism.
In this work, Bilen delves deeply into Gadamer's claim that all understanding is historically influenced—that interpreters are inevitably shaped by their traditions, language, and temporal context. This perspective challenges the notion of objective or absolute interpretation, raising the question: If understanding is always historically conditioned, does that lead to relativism?
Bilen carefully examines Gadamer's response to this challenge. Rather than falling into relativism, Gadamer maintains that understanding, though historical, is dialogical and open-ended. The “fusion of horizons” becomes a key concept: it describes how meaning emerges from the dynamic interaction between the interpreter’s historical standpoint and the text’s context.
