The philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer interests a wide audience that
spans the traditional distinction between European (continental)
and Anglo-American (analytic) philosophy. Yet one of the most
important and complex aspects of his work - his engagement with
German Idealism - has received comparatively little attention. In
this book, Kristin Gjesdal uses a close analysis and critical
investigation of Gadamer's Truth and Method (1960) to show that his
engagement with Kant, Hegel, and Schleiermacher is integral to his
conception of hermeneutics. She argues that a failure to engage
with this aspect of Gadamer's philosophy leads to a
misunderstanding of the most pressing problem of post-Heideggerian
hermeneutics: the tension between the commitment to the
self-criticism of reason, on the one hand, and the turn towards the
meaning-constituting authority of tradition, on the other. Her
study provides an illuminating assessment of both the merits and
the limitations of Gadamer's thought.
