Hermeneutics and Education [Hardcover] [Jan 01, 2017] D. K. Franz

Hermeneutics is the theory and methodology of text interpretation, especially the interpretation of biblical texts, wisdom literature, and philosophical texts. It started out as a theory of text interpretation but has been later broadened to questions of general interpretation. This book confronts the challenges that hermeneutics brings to ethics and education by thematizing the critical influence which ethics and contemporary educational theory and practice. By explicating, illustrating and demonstrating hermeneutic phenomenology as a method for research in education specifically, it also offers an excellent resource for beginning as well as more advanced researchers.
