    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Fusion of horizons explains how interpreters can achieve genuine understanding despite incommensurable starting frameworks.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Perspective-taking assumes subjects remain separate; fusion shows understanding transforms both participants' meaning-worlds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Gadamer's account risks obscuring power asymmetries: marginalized voices may be absorbed rather than genuinely fused.
