Very Idea of Radical Hermeneutics

These essays focus on and explore the idea of 'radicalising' hermeneutics, which John D Caputo first proposed in his provocative and widely read study, Radical Hermeneutics (1987). In the wake of Derrida, the essays address the confrontation of hermeneutics and postmodernism. The contributors are from various disciplines -- philosophy, literature, and science -- and they make exciting and original contributions to hermeneutic work. Caputo and Martinez have co-authored an introductory piece that sets out the 'very idea of radical hermeneutics', which several contributors proceed to work and rework in quite original ways.Martinez, Roy is the author of 'Very Idea of Radical Hermeneutics', published 1997 under ISBN 9781573923071 and ISBN 1573923079.
