Aus dem Vorwort:Nun ist gewiß praktische Philosophie nicht selber solche Vernünftigkeit. Sie ist Philosophie, das heißt, sie ist eine Reflexion, und zwar über das, was menschliche Lebensgestaltung zu sein hat. Im selben Sinne ist die philosophische Hermeneutik nicht selbst die Kunst des Verstehens, sondern die Theorie derselben. Aber die eine wie die andere Form von Bewußtmachung steigt aus der Praxis auf und bleibt ohne sie ein bloßer Leerlauf. Das ist der besondere Sinn von Wissen und Wissenschaft, den es von der Problematik der Hermeneutik aus neu zu legitimieren galt. Das war das Ziel, dem ich auch nach Vollendung von 'Wahrheit und Methode' meine Arbeit gewidmet habe.

El presente texto reúne las conferencias que Hans-Georg Gadamer dio en Lovaina en 1957. En aquel año ya tenía elaborado el borrador de Verdad y método; de ahí que supongan una anticipada síntesis de esta importante obra de la filosofía contemporánea. Con este texto la hermenéutica filosófica se ofrece como la transformación que precisaba la fenomenología para ser una respuesta histórica, epistemológica y ética a la Crisis de las Ciencias Europeas. Respuesta con la que dar cuenta y razón de la racionalidad que exigen las ciencias humanas en este período de entre siglos. Quienes aún se preguntan por el tipo de racionalidad que puede responder a los desafíos de la era tecnológica tienen en El problema de la conciencia histórica un texto breve y básico. En él se analizan las relaciones entre la experiencia histórica y el conocimiento ético, en diálogo con Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger y, sobre todo, Aristóteles. Estas lecturas aportarán las claves fundamentales para la clarificación d

Die Arbeiten des Bandes 7 führen die in Band 5 und 6 vorgelegten Studien weiter. Es handelt sich fast durchweg um neuere Arbeiten aus den letzten 15 Jahren vor Erscheinen des Bandes. Trotz der Verschiedenheit der Titel zeichnet sich in allen Arbeiten, ob über die Vorsokratiker, über Plato oder Aristoteles ein Ineinandergreifen philologischer Forschung und philosophischer Problemstellung ab.Diese Hauptstücke eines Spätwerkes sind stets neue Illustrationen der Grundsätze der philosophischen Hermeneutik, die der Verfasser in 'Wahrheit und Methode' systematisch ausgearbeitet hat. Er gibt keine doppelte Wahrheit. Was philologisch falsch ist, sollte man nicht gelten lassen. Wo sich unser gegenwärtiges philosophisches Fragen in den Fragen und Antworten der griechischen Philosophen wiedererkennen kann, zeigen sich Wege in unsere Zukunft. Inhaltsübersicht

"Drei große Lehrmeister haben durch ihre Gedanken und Sprache auf meine eigenen Denkversuche bestimmend eingewirkt: Hegel, Husserl und Heidegger. Meine Studien zu diesen großen Denkern sind, neu durchgesehen und vermehrt, in diesem Bande vereinigt." - Aus dem Vorwort zu Band 3

Truth and Method is a landmark work of 20th century thought which established Hans Georg-Gadamer as one of the most important philosophical voices of the 20th Century. In this book, Gadamer established the field of ‘philosophical hermeneutics': exploring the nature of knowledge, the book rejected traditional quasi-scientific approaches to establishing cultural meaning that were prevalent after the war. In arguing the ‘truth' and ‘method' acted in opposition to each other, Gadamer examined the ways in which historical and cultural circumstance fundamentally influenced human understanding. It was an approach that would become hugely influential in the humanities and social sciences and remains so to this day in the work of Jurgen Habermas and many others.

In this unique and comprehensive book, George McCarthy examines the influence of Greek philosophy, literature, arts, and politics on the development of twentieth-century German social thought. McCarthy demonstrates that the classical spirit vitalized thinkers such as Weber, Heidegger, Freud, Marcuse, Arendt, Gadamer, and Habermas. With the romancing of antiquity, they transformed their understanding of the modern self, political community, and Enlightenment rationality. By viewing contemporary social theory from the framework of the classical world, McCarthy argues, we are capable of thinking beyond the limits of modernity to new possibilities of human reason, science, beauty, and social justice.

In February 1988, philosophers Jacques Derrida, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe came together in Heidelberg before a large audience to discuss the philosophical and political implications of Martin Heidegger’s thought. This event took place in the very amphitheater in which, more than fifty years earlier, Heidegger, as rector of the University of Freiburg and a member of the Nazi Party, had given a speech entitled “The University in the New Reich.” Heidegger’s involvement in Nazism has always been, and will remain, an indelible scandal, but what is its real relation to his work and thought? And what are the responsibilities of those who read this work, who analyze and elaborate this thought? Conversely, what is at stake in the wholesale dismissal of this important but compromised twentieth-century philosopher? In 1988, in the wake of the recent publication of Victor Farias’s Heidegger and Nazism, and of the heated debates that ensued, these questions had become more pressing than ever. The reflections presented by three of the most prominent of Heidegger’s readers, improvised in French and transcribed here, were an attempt to approach these questions before a broad public, but with a depth of knowledge and a complex sense of the questions at issue that have been often lacking in the press. Ranging over two days and including exchanges with one another and with the audience, the discussions pursued by these major thinkers remain highly relevant today, especially following the publication of Heidegger’s already notorious “Black Notebooks,” which have added another chapter to the ongoing debates over this contested figure. The present volume recalls a highly charged moment in this history, while also drawing the debate toward its most essential questions.
