ABSTRACT

At the centre of the discussion on thinking in excendence terms have so far been the Individual and the Speech. Now, attention will be focused on the Conventions in the written form. Augustinian hermeneutics stating that a desire to understand the Text is not a cold and purely epistemological process between a subject and an object. Hans-Georg Gadamer intended to liberate language aspiration to truth from the plane of utterance by stating: No utterance exists which can be captured solely in the content it conveys if one intends to capture it in its truth. He emphasizes that the meaning of the text is not something ready, something which we identify during an interpretation, but it remains in the process of interpretation. Pawel Dybel continues, Gadamer, as the author of Truth and Method seems to be close to a Lacanian understanding of language as the Great Other.
