Hermeneutics, dialogue and wisdom

16 Sep

There is a regular relationship in which the process of understanding occurs,circulohermeneutico are the attributes of the understood thing moving inside of him that understands, but this dynamic is only possible if the fact that dialogue happens, because in the end we will no longer who we were before.

The movement is closed when we stay inside and a closed circle, so avoiding the question fall into dogmatism (of various types) and not whitening.

This easy fia task to keep us in keeping the movement, difficult when we are within dogmatic circles in which any speech “outside” can be seen as a danger to our dogmas.

This is the hermeneutic horizon for education, he emerged from his critique of scientism, whose deployment was to break with fundamental concepts presented in Truth and Hans-Georg Gadamer method.

But this is ethical? for Gadamer the role of ethical decision is that of is in a concrete situation, which is fair, therefore more practical and current.

Stated more clearly a concrete ethical decision is found to help all to see and put in order all that entails a concrete situation (Gadamer, 1998, p. 51), but here we see applied idealistic ethic is unreal, it is given before concrete fact.

We can say then that the boundaries between technical and ethical knowledge disappears? A surprising response, Gadamer help us in this, is the Aristotelian analysis of phronesis, ie, a technique is learned and can be forgotten, that is one can lose an ability to exercise it when we are facing a dogmatism, so more of course, a fanaticism.

Technical because the ethical knowledge or learns or forgets, is not as supposed lawyers is like knowing a profession, you can choose, I learned it in my childhood.

But no one can reject it and choose another to know, because, unlike the subject of phronesis, the man is already in action in a situation and thus always obliged to have an ethical knowledge and apply it according to the requirements of their specific situation (Gadamer, 1998, p. 52). Phronesis is the in- wisdom “formed” in each person.
