Abstract
Dr. Steven Crowell, Rice University, Houston (USA)
Morten Thaning's book is an important contribution to the discourse of philosophical hermeneutics. Thaning extensively discusses a topic, which recent debates have touched upon, but which up to now has not been the subject matter of concentrated scholarly work: the relation between Gadamer's hermeneutics and McDowell's empiricism. With Thaning's interpretation Gadamer" work can be read anew as concerning the problem of hermeneutical objectivity.
