Descripción
Sumario:In The Hermeneutic Conversation as Epistemological Model (FREUDENBERGER, 2003), Silja Freudenberger indicates similarities between Gadamerian hermeneutics and Anglo-Saxon feminist epistemology. In this text, it seems appropriate to attribute to the author the hypothesis that the approaches of both streams of thought display parallels that should be observed for understanding the  – largely negative – reception of the first within the philosophical literature developed in alignment with the second. Under the assumption that this hypothesis is a key guideline for the development of Freudenberger's text, this effort is dedicated to reconstructing and critically analysing the argumentative path followed by the author. The motivation for carrying out this task is, first, making the solidity of a surprisingly marginal position in a certain region of feminist philosophical literature visible – namely, that according to which there is no necessary incompatibility between feminist thought and the guidelines central to Gadamer's hermeneutics; and, additionally, presenting certain remarks of historical and contextual nature that explain, to a certain extent, the marginal status of this position.
