Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy Volume 1: The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer: Volume I

Description

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 Gadamer’s understanding of human life as embedded within history.
