What did Gadamer believe about understanding?
It is dialogical
It is linear
It is static
It is subjective
Answer
Understanding, according to Gadamer, is dialogical. This means that it is not a passive reception of information, but rather an active process of engagement with the text or object of understanding. In this process, the interpreter brings their own experiences and perspectives to bear on the text, and the text in turn shapes the interpreter's understanding.
