Abstract
This chapter argues that Gadamer’s contributions to Anglo-American political theory are most evident in three areas. The first is in debates about methods of inquiry and methods of textual interpretation, both of which arose in the context of the behavioral revolution in political science in the mid-twentieth century. The second is comparative political theory, which draws on Gadamer’s account of understanding to try to move political theory beyond the Western canon and engage with texts from other traditions. Third and finally, Gadamer’s work has become increasingly important in democratic theory, especially on issues of democratic deliberation, identity, and solidarity.
