Title: Technics as Hermeneutics
Abstract: In this paper, I outline, how technics can be understood as a special case of hermeneutics. My argument hinges on the concept of practice, which, according to Joseph Rouse, is hermeneutic activity. I show how Rouse’s practical hermeneutics and Don Ihde’s material hermeneutics can be considered to be founded on the pragmatist theory of meaning. For John Dewey, interpretation is thoroughly technical.
Keywords: Philosophy of technology, hermeneutics, Joseph Rouse, Don Ihde, pragmatist theory of meaning
