Hans-Georg Gadamer Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: February 11, 1900 - March 13, 2002
Birthday: February 11
Death: March 13
The hermeneutic consciousness, which must be awakened and kept awake, recognized that in the age of science philosophy's claim of superiority has something chimerical and unreal about it. But though the will of man is more than ever intensifying its criticism of what has gone before to the point of becoming utopian or eschatological consciousness, the hermeneutic consciousness seeks to confront that will with something of the truth of remembrance: with what is still and ever again real.
