Why is it important?

It is well known that Gadamerian hermeneutics represents an alternative to the epistemology-centred philosophy of consciousness that has characterized most conceptions of the subject in the human sciences. What is perhaps less emphasized is that his theory of interpretation also supports a dialogical conception of the subject that underlines the centrality of human practices for the construction of subjectivity.
