Arguably Gadamer’s most famous work, this classic of philosophical hermeneutics explores, among many other things, the way that consciousness is inextricably linked to history and culture, both of which can be seen in a ‘fusion of horizons’ where these linkages emerge into view. See in particular Part 1 ‘The question of truth as it emerges in the experience of art’. Interesting background material for the 2nd FORMER WEST Research Congress, On Horizons: Art and Political Imagination.
