Hermeneutics by John D. Caputo

A concise, deconstructive rethinking of interpretation that treats hermeneutics not as a method for recovering fixed meanings but as an open, ethical event in which meaning is always tentative, responsible, and transformative; the work critiques traditional claims to presence and closure, draws on Continental thinkers to show how interpretation exposes undecidability and the call of the Other, and situates reading as an ongoing, prophetic practice that challenges metaphysical foundations while preserving the possibility of theological and ethical insight.
