His philosophical hermeneutics shifted the focus from interpretation to existential understanding, which was treated more as a direct, non-mediated, thus in a sense more authentic way of being in the world than simply as a way of knowing He developed a holistic epistemology according to which all meaning is context-dependent and permanently anticipated from a particular horizon, perspective or background of intelligibility. Heidegger describes the cultural activity as an endless process of fusions of horizons. On the one hand, this is an echo of the Heideggerian holism, through an endless, free and unpredictable process of fusions of horizons, the personal horizon is gradually expanded and deprived of its
