This conversation traces the evolution of hermeneutics, defining it as the science and art of interpretation that has broadened from ancient texts to encompass human understanding and the nature of reality. It delineates key figures who shaped the field, such as Paul Ricoeur, who introduced the "hermeneutical arc" of understanding, introduces the "hermeneutics of suspicion" as a necessary critical component, and Hans-Georg Gadamer who focuses on ontological hermeneutics, the primacy of tradition, the "rehabilitation of prejudice," and the "fusion of horizons."
