PHL 235 - Hermeneutics and Deconstruction (3 Cr.) (RLG 235 )
An overview of two current philosophical practices of mindful interpretation put forth respectively by Hans Georg Gadamer and Jacques Derrida. Both thinkers are at the forefront of the philosophical breakthrough of being “mindful” of meaning, of the ways we find meaning, create meaning, and expand meaning mindfully for ourselves and others. Examination and comparison of these practices of interpretation through their interpretation of Plato’s Dialogues. Prerequisite: either sophomore standing, a 100-level philosophy course, or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Offered 2015-16 and alternate years. Rose.
