This book provides readers with a summary of hermeneutics. One has to be already acquainted with hermeneutics to be able to understand the book without issues. It nicely points out to the major contributions to hermeneutics, concentrating on three 'facets' of it from it's emergences to the latest major ideas.

Important insights expressed in scholarly, almost inscrutable fashiion.
What is the difference between explanation and understandng?
How is our understanding shaped by who we are and what we believe and what we take for granted?
To what extent does our perspective and hence our understanding change over time?
Is the static truth sought by science an illusion?
To what extent do we only understand what we make?
What is the meaning of "understanding"? And is that beyond our ability to understand?
I'd love to find a book that addressed such questions in common-sense English rather than academic jargon.
