Abstract

Gadamer often characterizes interpretation as a conversation or dialogue, and he tells us that this is more than metaphor.1 In this regard his analysis is tied to certain Romantic conceptions concerning the universality of language, “linguistic heritage” (Angeborenheit der Sprache), and what von Humboldt called “the common denominator of human nature,” the universal and spiritual humanity that we all share.2
