A hermeneutical view of information is to bring information into the phenomenon of understanding from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics developed by Hans-Georg Gadamer. Philosophical hermeneutics is not concerned with the art of interpretation, as what the traditional hermeneutics characteristically was, but with understanding as the fundamental mode of being of the human person. To view information within the realm of understanding, or to unfold its hermeneutic dimension, it is necessary to challenge its objectified and reified conception. To achieve this, an elucidation of the essential features of hermeneutic understanding, like its interpretive nature and linguisticality, shall take the aspect of engaging the phenomenon of information in the context of information technology. A relevant conclusion shall reveal the possibility of reintegrating information into the fundamental orientation of human praxis as coming to an understanding. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy is the property of KRITIKE: An Online Journal of Philosophy and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
