Internationales Jahrbuch für Hermeneutik

This yearbook represents a broad basis of one of the main trends in present-day philosophy with its counterparts in other sectors of the humanities. Hermeneutics sees itself as a successor to German Idealism and to the philosophy which originated in Germany and Europe during the 19th and the 20th century. In a broad sense, hermeneutics can be seen here as a counterbalance to analytical philosophy. Particular emphasis is also placed on the reference to antiquity as the origin of European philosophy. This year's volume deals with the »Hermeneutics of Religion«. The importance of hermeneutics for theology is examined with a systematic purpose as well as with reference to historical positions, such as for example those of Schleiermacher, Heidegger or Henry.
