Horizons
Pendleton, Oregon. January 2014.
“Every finite present has its limitations. We define the concept of ‘situation’ by saying that it represents a standpoint that limits the possibility of vision. Hence an essential part of the concept of situation is the concept of ‘horizon.’ The horizon is the range of vision that includes everything that can be seen from a particular vantage point… A person who has no horizon is a man who does not see far enough and hence overvalues what is nearest to him. On the other hand, ‘to have an horizon’ means not being limited to what is nearby, but to being able to see beyond it… Working out of the hermeneutical situation means the achievement of the right horizon of inquiry for the questions evoked by the encounter with tradition.”

Lovely as always! Opening up horizons for others is so beautiful.
Gadamer was in my dissertation! But I NEVER think about him in “real life.” You’re the real intellectual around here! =)
All I know about gadamer I learned from my cousin who majored in philosophy at Wheaton!! 🙂 I’m fascinated, wish I could understand philosophy for real..,
I love the simplicity in these photos. Beautiful!! Is this with the new camera? I’m with KLH–you’re the real intellectual around here! 🙂
Nope still with the old camera. I’m still hesitant to use the new one– I need to watch some tutorial videos!! 🙂
