 Gadamer maintains that the normative implications of the ‘principle of history of effect’ mean that in our interpretive experience, we should attempt always to expand our horizons. By horizon, Gadamer has in mind the “range” of our capacity to understand (Gadamer, Truth and Method, 302), as this is made possible and limited by the breadth and depth of what we have already come to understand in our lives. In this concept of horizon, it is not difficult to hear the echo of the humanistic sensibility that interpretive experience is educative. Our horizon is the formation we have achieved through our interpretive experience, both from our formal education and from our life-experience. Thus, the normative demand of interpretive experience is always to become more educated.
