Wilson Department of English, University of Ottawa ENG 3375 -- Contemporary Literary Theory Week 7 If we look at its etymological roots, we can see that the name ‘hermeneutics’ comes from the Greek word hermeneuein (which means ‘to interpret’) and the noun hermeneia (interpretation). This lecture provides a brief overview of the history of hermeneutics, including: Plato, Aristotle, Medieval Hermeneutics, Martin Luther, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Wilhelm Dilthey, Martin Heidegger, and Hans-Georg Gadamer.
