詮釋學問題自古希臘時期起即已出現，但詮釋學的發展則是一直到史萊爾馬赫（Friedrich Schleiermacher）嘗試為其建立起一套一般性理論之後，才逐漸被哲學界所正視。詮釋學作為一門探究如何理解文本、語言以及理解本身的哲學學科，在20世紀下半葉更被諸多學科所關注與爭議之焦點，而成為當代哲學思潮中的一個研究重點。當代詮釋學曾圍繞著高達美（Hans-Georg Gadamer）的哲學詮釋學發生過幾場非常重要的論爭，本課程擬聚焦探討其中一場有關傳統權威與啟蒙批判的論戰，其主要涉入者為德國法蘭克福學派哲學家哈伯瑪斯(Jürgen Habermas)及阿佩爾(Karl-Otto Apel)，我們將一起研讀相關的文本，並討論其中牽涉到的哲學問題。

The issue of hermeneutics has appeared since ancient Greece, but the development of hermeneutics was not gradually taken seriously by the philosophical community until Friedrich Schleiermacher tried to establish a general theory for it. Hermeneutics, as a philosophical discipline that explores how to understand text, language, and understanding itself, has been the focus of attention and controversy in many disciplines in the second half of the 20th century, and has become a research focus in contemporary philosophical trends. Contemporary hermeneutics has had several very important debates surrounding the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans-Georg Gadamer. This course intends to focus on one of the debates about traditional authority and Enlightenment criticism. The main participants are the German Frankfurt School philosophers Jürgen Habermas and Karl-Otto Apel. We will study the relevant texts together and discuss the philosophical issues involved.
