REL 312 - Text and Meaning

Institution:

Westminster College - Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Hermeneutics is an interdisciplinary study of the methodological principles of interpretation. It examines how human beings experience the world and life as intelligible. We will ask fundamental questions regarding such intelligibility: What is a text? What is a context? What is language? What is meaning? Can everything we perceive be considered texts, including people and the world itself? What are the principles and methods of understanding the world of human “objects”—i.e., forms of human expression such as paintings, laws, literature, music, and religion s? Prerequisit e: Junior or senior status, or permission of the instructor
