The Truth and Method of The Historicity of Texts

This research paper attempts to initially explore Gadamer s masterpiece, Truth and Method, in the hermeneutic tradition of interpretation. The study examines the Gadamerian understanding of the historicity of texts, and how the meanings of texts are affected in their journey in time. Concepts like the situatedness of languages, the changing nature of everything textual, and the celebration of the synthetic attitude towards opposing elements are to be scrutinized in this critical endeavour.
