This book analyzes the hermeneutics of place, raising questions about
central issues such as textuality, dialogue, and play. It discusses
the central figures in the development of hermeneutics and place, and
surveys disciplines and areas in which a hermeneutic approach to place
has been fruitful. It covers the range of philosophical hermeneutic
theory, both within philosophy itself as well as from other
disciplines. In doing so, the volume reflects the state of
theorization on these issues, and also looks forward to the
implications and opportunities that exist. Philosophical hermeneutics
has fundamentally altered philosophy’s approach to place. Issues
such as how we dwell in place, how place is imagined, created,
preserved, and lost, and how philosophy itself exists in place have
become central. While there is much research applying hermeneutics to
place, there is little which both reflects on that heritage and
critically analyzes a hermeneutic approach to place. This book fills
that void by offering a sustained analysis of the central elements,
major figures, and disciplinary applications of hermeneutics and
place.
