Reviews
This is a deeply read work that continues to build on Gadamer's appropriation of the inner word from Christian theology. The book moves the theory forward in two innovative directions: It explores the analog concepts of inner voice and inner ear that were only suggested by Gadamer, and it develops numerous connections with scientific theory, especially evolutionary and cognitive science. In keeping with his emphasis on the aural dimension of the inner word, Fuyarchuk also brings Gadamer's theory back to Heidegger's concepts of the middle voice and attunement. The impressive range of interdisciplinary scholarship and the extended speculations on the inner word's application to the aural dimensions of understanding will provide students of hermeneutics and language study in general a wealth of expanding connections and resources for further thought. -- John Arthos, Associate Professor of English, Indiana University
This is a brave and provocative book which any one interested in the present philosophical status of hermeneutics should seriously engage. After a thorough analysis of Gadamer's speculative theory of language and its grounding, the author confronts the increasing irrelevance of culture and tradition in the age of electronic information. Yet, rather than marginalizing hermeneutics the rise of the natural sciences demonstrates how processes of interpretation are fundamental to concept formation and the emergence of thought into language. -- Nicholas Davey, University of Dundee
