Hermeneutics and Hindu Thought: Toward a Fusion of Horizons

From the reviews:

“The edited collection on hermeneneutics and Hindu thought brings contributions from scholars covering Indian studies, hermeneutics, comparative religion as well as cross-cultural studies. … I therefore strongly believe the book on hermeneutics and Hindu thought will vitally contribute to the various sediments of uncritical and ethnocentric uses of hermeneutics in humanities and social sciences at large.” (Lenart Skof, Sophia, Vol. 48 (4), 2009)

“This present volume uses Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of the ‘fusion of horizons’ by engaging Hindu hermeneutical philosophies and theologies … and by exposing wrong-minded Western interpretations of India. … It must be aimed at scholars already working on Indian thought. … the volume is an important contribution to Hindu studies, not only representing those who apply a more sensitive hermeneutic when reading Indian texts, but offering powerful insights as to how this can be accomplished further.” (Jonathan Edelmann, Journal of Hindu Studies, Vol. 4 (2), July, 2011)
