 Hermeneutics, grasped as a historical movement, is typically associated with continental European traditions of thought and the reception of these traditions in the global context. This reception has included contributions to the development of hermeneutics made by noteworthy Anglo-American philosophers. Hermeneutics has been adopted by Richard Rorty, has been connected with the later Wittgenstein and Davidson, and has also been taken up by philosophers associated with the so-called ‘Pittsburgh school,’ Robert Brandom, and John  McDowell.[11]
