Continuum's Guides for the Perplexed are clear, concise and
accessible introductions to thinkers, writers and subjects that
students and readers can find especially challenging. Concentrating
specifically on what it is that makes the subject difficult to
fathom, these books explain and explore key themes and ideas,
guiding the reader towards a thorough and confident understanding
of demanding material. Hans-Georg Gadamer is one of the formeost
European philosophers of recent times. His work on philosophical
hermeneutics defined the whole subject, and Truth and Method, his
magnum opus, is a landmark text in modern philosophy. However,
Gadamer's ideas, the complex relationship between them, and the
often opaque way they are expressed, undoubtedly pose a
considerable challenge for the reader. Gadamer: A Guide for the
Perplexed is the ideal text for anyone trying to get to grips with
Gadamer's work. Providing a clear account of the central tenets of
Gadamer's philosophy, the book does not shy away from the more
complex material and provides an invaluably thorough and fully
engaged account of Gadamer's hermeneutics. There is clear
exposition and analysis of such key terms - often problematic for
the reader - as 'fusion of horizons', 'effective historical
consciousness' and 'the logic of question and answer', as well as
Gadamer's redefinition of such concepts as 'prejudice', 'authority'
and 'tradition'. The book also discusses Gadamer's influence in
other areas of philosophy; the response of other philosophers to
his work; and criticisms of his work on the grounds of relativism.
