Description: "This book has become a go-to text for graduate students and other researchers conducting hermeneutic studies. It takes an integrated approach based on a lucid discussion of philosophical principles, primarily drawn from the work of Hans-Georg Gadamer. The authors show how they can be applied flexibly throughout the research process. This new edition has been revised after 10 years' additional experience of conducting hermeneutic research, and of teaching and supervising graduate students. There is an expanded section of examples of hermeneutic studies, showing a creative range of approaches to different topics. Links between philosophical concepts and application are shown more clearly with an expanded discussion of different thinkers. The updated edition will continue to be a valuable resource to anyone looking for a clear introduction to the theory and practice of hermeneutic research"-- Provided by publisher.
