oa Hermeneutiek: metaforisch spel van binnen en buiten

The author has investigated some transformations in the metaphorical play of the concepts of ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ in the philosophies of some outstanding representatives of hermeneutics, like the romantic conception of Schleiermacher, the applicative hermeneutics of Gadamer, the semiological and rhetorical thought of Derrida, and Ricoeur’s critical hermeneutics. Finally an outline is given of one possible further move in the game hermeneutics plays with us: the sceptical point of view.
