What did Gadamer argue against in hermeneutics?

  • Objectivity

  • Subjectivity

  • Relativity

  • Plurality

Answer

Objectivity, argued Gadamer, is an illusion in hermeneutics. He maintained that all understanding is inherently subjective and influenced by the interpreter's own experiences, beliefs, and prejudices. Gadamer emphasized the importance of dialogue and open-mindedness in interpretation, as it allows for a deeper understanding of the text and its context.
