Product Description

Review
"This twelve-essay collection should introduce Gadamer to new readers while engaging those familiar with his work." Journal of the History of Philosophy

"...brings together many themes and conveys difficult thinking with real clarity." Philosophy in Review

"...overall, this collection is nicely judged and well-organized, and the inclusion of a very thorough bibliography at the end makes it all the more valuable..." American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly

Product Description
Hans-Georg Gadamer (b. 1900) is widely recognized as the leading exponent of philosophical hermeneutics. The essays in this collection examine Gadamer’s biography, the core of hermeneutical theory, and the significance of his work for ethics, aesthetics, the social sciences, and theology. There is full consideration of Gadamer’s appropriation of Hegel, Heidegger and the Greeks, as well as his relation to modernity, critical theory and poststructuralism.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not an introduction, 23 May 2004
By BR (Bettembourg Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
Do you need to read this book if you are interested in Gadamer? The answer is "Why not?" Nothing more.
Do not look for a definition of hermeneutics in the book (OK there isn't one in Gadamer either...) or a summary of Gadamer's main body of ideas.
This book is not an introduction. I think it will have provided more pleasure to those who wrote it than to those who want to read it. It assumes that you already know a lot about Gadamer. Then you can benefit from this series of essays on Gadamer and Hegel or Gadamer and theology, etc.
I am still looking for a good introductory book on Gadamer and this one definitely is not.
