  • "The clip explains that the branch of philosophy that deals with interpretation is called hermeneutics, a field that today is applied to many parts of life. Not too long ago its primary focus was on language and methods that assist us in getting at the meaning of texts. In the Middle Ages Wittenburg minister Martin Luther challenged the Church's sole authority to interpret Biblical allegories, saying that anyone with a knowledge of Hebrew and Greek could interpret the Bible for himself, and that the interpretation should be literal not allegorical. The video also explores the work of Wilhelm Dilthey who broadened the focus of hermeneutics to fields like art and history; Hans-Georg Gadamer whose focus was hermeneutics and subjectivity; Hegel and early Wittengenstein and their individual work with ideal languages, and Wittgenstein's later focus on language games."
