Dean Komel (2015). Understanding as Relation
- Julián Ramiro Numpaque García
Abstract
The article discusses the question, if understanding can be comprehended as a relation –perhaps even as a distinguished relation– or do we have to attribute to it a distinctive non-relational character. The answer depends upon how we confront the very sense of understanding and whether the sense is disclosed as being a special –should we use Heidegger’s term– “hermeneutic relation”. If this holds true, then the sense of understanding as a hermeneutical relation must be unfolded with regards to communication with the other and not be discussed as concerning only the ontological difference, but also the worldly interference, which denotes the encounter with the other.
Keywords
understanding, relation, hermeneutic relation, hermeneutics, communication
