Georgia Warnke began her career by studying the work of Hans-Georg
Gadamer, the foremost contemporary proponent of hermeneutics, a
philosophical approach that centers on interpretation as dialogue
across times and cultures. In this book, she traces the myriad ways
in which interpretive perspectives have come to prominence in modem
political philosophy. Focusing on the work of John Rawls, Michael
Walzer, Ronald Dworkin, Charles Taylor, Alasdair MacIntyre, and
Jurgen Habermas, Warnke finds an increasing concern with the
grounding of political norms in communal values rather than on
abstract, universal principles.

Warnke develops the implications of this hermeneutic turn in
political philosophy, identifying and defining a range of
unresolved problems and suggesting a new model of democracy that
takes free and equal discussion and mutual education as its primary
values.
