Abstract
In the last chapter the nature of hermeneutics was explored and then set in the context of the Habermas–Gadamer debate. The purpose was to highlight the nature of hermeneutic concepts such as tradition, prejudice, and horizon so that in due course it could be seen how the classic is woven in with tradition as the interplay between past and present. The effect of this interplay is to allow us to see the grounding link between the ‘exceptional’ qualities of the classic and its historical context or as Gadamer describes the issue: the classic text’s simultaneous ‘historicity’ and ‘eminence’.
