Focus: Finiteness. Schwerpunkt: Endlichkeit : Volume 21 Focus: Finiteness

The International Yearbook for Hermeneutics represents one of the prominent currents in contemporary philosophy as well as in bordering disciplines. It gathers studies on questions concerning understanding and interpretation in all relevant fields, including philosophy, theology, jurisprudence, theory of science as well as literary and cultural studies. The Yearbook includes contributions on current debates and on the history of ideas from antiquity to the present. This volume deals with "finiteness" and is also a celebratory publication for the 70th birthday of the Czech philosopher Pavel Kouba. He explores the intersection of phenomenology and hermeneutics.
