In this episode, Giuseppe and Anthony continue their conversation on hermeneutic issues: What exactly happens to us when we engage with a text? What is the relationship between text, author, and understanding? What even is a 'text' in the first place? What is a symbol? Is there a distinction between symbols and other kind of representations? Is the relationship between symbols and reality truly arbitrary? For questions or suggestions for future episodes: [email protected]. Support us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/publicphilosophyproject
