Contextualism and Dialectical Hermeneutics: From History to a Political Ideal
Abstract
This article critically examines the contemporary approaches to intellectual history. The author compares the Cambridge School of Political Thought and the methodology of dialectical hermeneutics and argues that contextualism cannot explain the intersections between a political ideal and intellectual history. The author examines the method of dialectical hermeneutics in the the thought of Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricouer, Fredric Jameson, Walter Benjamin, Slavoj Žižek, and outlines a dialectic of history and a political ideal.
