Description
Book SynopsisGadamer’s Truth and Method: A Polyphonic Commentary offers a fresh look at Gadamer’s magnum opus, Truth and Method, which was first published in German in 1960, translated into English in 1975, and is widely recognized as a ground-breaking text of philosophical hermeneutics. The volume features essays from fourteen scholars—both established and rising stars—each of which cover a portion of Truth and Method following the order of the text itself.
The result is a robust, historically and thematically rich polyphonic reading of the text as a whole, valuable both for scholarship and teaching.
Trade ReviewThere is no doubt this book will make a welcome contribution to the existing literature in the field, and it is distinct in important ways from many other books in the field. Anyone who has read Gadamer’s work will be interested in this book.
