Document Details : Title: Gadamer 'ad Portas' Subtitle: The Orthodox Understanding of Tradition Challenged by Hermeneutics Author(s): KATTAN, Assaad Elias Journal: Journal of Eastern Christian Studies Volume: 66 Issue: 1-2 Date: 2014 Pages: 63-71 DOI: 10.2143/JECS.66.1.3064557 Abstract : This article explores the implications of Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics for the understanding of tradition in Orthodox theology. It is argued that Gadamer’s hermeneutical approach does not only entail a rehabilitation of tradition, but also a critical potential likely to trigger a re-reading of this concept within the framework of Orthodox theology. |
