Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy Summary

Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy: The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer by Hans-Georg Gadamer

Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy collects together Gadamer's remaining important untranslated writings on the problem of history and the major philosophical traditions of the 20th century from the standpoint of hermeneutics. In these writings, Gadamer examines important thinkers such as Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Bourdieu and Habermas and their ongoing legacies. This volume includes a preface by the editors and translators, presenting the structure of the volume, and a substantial introduction situating Gadamer's particular project and examining the place of hermeneutics in relation to the disciplines of history and philosophy in the 20th century. The translation is followed by a glossary of German terms and Greek and Latin expressions, as well as a bibliography of all the works cited and alluded to by Gadamer. Together, the essays and critical apparatus provide an overarching account of Gadamers understanding of human life as embedded within history.

Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy Reviews

The translations in this volume are very readable and have a light touch about them, which also enhances access to Gadamers thought. By including several essays published well after Truth and Method (1960), the volume promises to make visible the nuances in his later reflections and deepen our insight into the earlier work. * Phenomenological Reviews *
This project is commendable, and although Gadamer develops many of the themes of this volume in books and essays already available in English, it constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of Gadamers philosophical hermeneutics, and more broadly, the overall nature, context, and development of German philosophy in the twentieth-century. This volume should therefore be of interest to readers of Gadamer, continental philosophy more generally, and indeed anyone concerned with the relation between philosophy and its history. [...] The material on Bourdieu, Habermas, and Derrida is particularly illuminating as it presents Gadamers responses to contemporaries, each of whom, in their own way, represent direct challenges to Gadamers phenomenological, linguistic, and hermeneutical positions. [...] This reader found especially helpful the editors account of how Gadamers philosophy of history relates to his philosophy of language. * Phenomenological Reviews *
