E14 Gadamer: Truth and Method

Begin with philosophy here! In the fourteenth episode Awee Prins continues our journey from Martin Heidegger to Hans-Georg Gadamer, tracing the shift from Heidegger’s analysis of technology as a way of revealing to Gadamer’s idea that we live within a fundamentally hermeneutic universe. If technology is not merely technological, then truth is not merely scientific. Kas and Sonia push the discussion further by connecting these ideas to contemporary culture — from human resource management to historical interpretation — asking what it really means to say that we are always interpreting, always historically situated, and never outside perspective. Let's begin, finally!
