Philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer has made major contributions to
aesthetic theory, Plato and Hegel studies, humanistic studies, and
the philosophy of history. A student of Martin Heidegger, Gadamer
took up and developed a number of central Heideggerian insights. He
also had productive public debates with contemporaries such as
Emilio Betti and J rgen Habermas. The shape of contemporary
hermeneutics is due almost entirely to Gadamer's influence, and his
magnum opus, Truth and Method, is considered one of the great
philosophical works of the twentieth century.This book is dedicated
to Gadamer in honor of his hundredth birthday, in 2000. The essays
provide a measure of the classical character of Gadamer's work by
showing the breadth of engagement his ideas have provoked. As in
Gadamer's own life and work, dialogue and conversation figure as
important themes in all of the essays. While they encompass a
diversity of philosophical perspectives, interests, and styles, the
essays also suggest the ever-present possibility of dialogue across
language and tradition and of the formation of new modes of
discourse and philosophizing.
