PARRA AYALA, ANDRÉS FELIPE. HERMENEUTICAL DISSENT A POLITICAL INTERPRETATION OF H. G. GADAMER'S FUSION OF HORIZONS. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2014, vol.63, n.155, pp.59-84. ISSN 0120-0062.  https://doi.org/10.15446/ideasyvalores.v63n155.34217.

The article provides a theoretical-political interpretation of Gadamer's fusion of horizons, arguing that, from a hermeneutical point of view, political dialogue should be understood as the process of questioning and challenging the horizons of meaning underlying social practices. Likewise, the article holds that dialogue establishes a common question-scenario that opens up the social horizon of meaning to contingency and uncertainty, and that it never seeks a procedural or substantial consensus that eliminates conflicts and reconciles different perspectives in a homogeneous point of view.

Keywords : H. G. Gadamer; J. Habermas; consensus; dissent; fusion of horizons.
