par latviešiem (un jebkuriem citiem tautiešiem)
Gadamer has a conception of the cultural and historical horizons withing every individual and community lives. On the one hand, every such horizon functions as a limit. It delineates a set of beliefs, stories, ideas, customs, shared experiences, and dispositions that make a people who they are. Beyond the horizon are the things that they do now know and cannot imagine, including things that they cannot even ask about because they do not know how to ask, or why one would ever want to ask.The world of this horizon will never cease to be one's origin, one's home. Within its compass are feelings, habits, sensibilities, and associations that one may never be able to entirely alter. They mark one with the stamp of a culture's history.

Yet the horizon is also the means of being open, for the culture that one assimilates, from one's youth is what makes the world familiar and life livable. Like the physical horizon, the cultural horizon functions both as limitation and as an opening to everything that transcends it.
