Abstract:
This paper is an attempt to uncover a world that would be worth affirming within our
world that continually faces crises and social transformations. Religious, ethnic,
cultural, political, and even academic spheres of our everyday world face crises and are
in a continual process of transformation. In light of the social transformations and crises
that recur in our society, this paper seeks to focus on our attempts to make sense of
these crises and changes. It seeks to investigate how we understand the world and the
other, and what impedes this process of understanding and also what grounds this
process. Drawing on the works of Hans George Gadamer, this paper seeks to describe
the process of understanding as a generative, dialectical, expanding, and deepening kind
of experience, rather than as a step-by-step progressive process.
