What is rationality and how are we to conceive of it today given the
major theoretical changes that have profoundly altered our
philosophical self-understanding? Rationality, Hermeneutics and
Dialogue develops a systematic response to these questions, defending
an approach to rationality that can meet the demands of a
postfoundationalist and pluralistic era. Engaging critically with the
work of Habermas, Gadamer and Foucault, Healy makes the case for a
dialogical approach to rationality as a fitting response to
postfoundationalist needs. As well as advancing existing scholarship
on these theorists, Rationality, Hermeneutics and Dialogue contributes
to filling a significant lacuna in the literature on rationality, as
prefigured by Richard Bernstein and others. By showing how the
dialogical approach can resolve two challenging contemporary problems
for rationality, it demonstrates how critical engagement with the
Continental tradition can facilitate the resolution of aporias arising
within the Analytic tradition. It thereby sets the scene for a
productive and potentially provocative debate about rationality in the
twenty-first century.
