Oxford University Press Hermeneutics A Very Short Introduction by Jens Zimmermann
Hermeneutics is the branch of knowledge that deals with interpretation, a behaviour that is intrinsic to our daily lives. But how is knowledge mediated through forms? What constitutes the process of interpretation? And how do we draw meaning from the world around us so that we might understand our position in it? This Very Short Introduction traces the history of hermeneutic theory, setting out its key elements, and how they can be applied to a broad range of disciplines.
