His reflections on meaning and symbolism in art draw upon his teacher, Martin Heidegger, while moving Heidegger's thought in new directions. His theory of interpretation, or \"philosophical hermeneutics,\" offers profound ways to understand the influence of the past upon the present and to appropriate cultural history in ever new forms. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor architects, architectural theorists, architectural historians, and students in these fields, Gadamer's thought opens a world of possibilities for understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to architecture's history in ways that do not merely repeat nor repudiate that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, Gadamer's sensitivity to the importance of practical thinking - to the way that theory arises out of practice - gives his thought a remarkable usefulness in the everyday work of professional life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKidder\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Seattle University, USA, where he has taught courses on ethics, urban life, and the philosophy art. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.4 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 08, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164659532025,"sku":"9780415522731","price":69.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/RUp2Z3I0QklDK2l4Vy9qaXYyM216UT09.webp?v=1767398145","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/gadamer-for-architects-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
