Discussion
Which one of the following contributes to critical hermeneutics ?
Answer: B
The contributor to critical hermeneutics is Habermas, so the answer is B.
Jurgen Habermas, in his debate with Gadamer, argued that understanding tradition must be joined with a critique of ideology, because tradition may carry hidden relations of power and distorted communication. This position is called critical hermeneutics.
Heidegger (A) and Gadamer (D) belong to the philosophical hermeneutics which defends the authority of tradition, and Rorty (C) developed a pragmatic hermeneutics, so the option that fits is Habermas.
