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.
Sculpture has been a central aspect of almost every art culture,
contemporary or historical. This volume comprises ten essays at the
cutting edge of thinking about sculpture in philosophical terms,
representing approaches to sculpture from the perspectives of both
Anglo-American and European philosophy. Some of the essays are
historically situated, while others are more straightforwardly
conceptual. All of the essays, however, pay strict attention to
actual sculptural examples in their discussions. This reflects the
overall aim of the volume to not merely "apply" philosophy to
sculpture, but rather to test the philosophical approaches taken in
tandem with deep analyses of sculptural examples. There is an array
of philosophical problems unique to sculpture, namely certain
aspects of its three-dimensionality, physicality, temporality, and
morality. The authors in this volume respond to a number of
challenging philosophical questions related to these
characteristics. Furthermore, while the focus of most of the essays
is on Western sculptural traditions, there are contributions that
features discussion of sculptural examples from non-Western
sources. Philosophy of Sculpture is the first full-length book
treatment of the philosophical significance of sculpture in
English. It is a valuable resource for advanced students and
scholars across aesthetics, art history, history, performance
studies, and visual studies.

Debates in Nineteenth-Century European Philosophy offers an
engaging and in-depth introduction to the philosophical questions
raised by this rich and far reaching period in the history of
philosophy. Throughout thirty chapters (organized into fifteen
sections), the volume surveys the intellectual contributions of
European philosophy in the nineteenth century, but it also engages
the on-going debates about how these contributions can and should
be understood. As such, the volume provides both an overview of
nineteenth-century European philosophy and an introduction to
contemporary scholarship in this field. KEY DEBATES IN EUROPEAN

Hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, is an essential and
valuable branch of philosophy. Hermeneutics is also a central
component of the methodology of the social sciences and the
humanities, for example historiography, anthropology, art history,
and literary criticism. In a sequence of accessible chapters,
contributors across the human sciences explain the leading concepts
and ideas of hermeneutics, the historical development of the field,
the importance of hermeneutics in philosophy today, and the ways in
which it can address contemporary concerns including intercultural
relations, relations between subcultures within a single society,
and relations across race and gender. Clearly structured and
written in non-technical language, this Companion will be an
important contribution to a growing field of study.
The long nineteenth-century-the period beginning with the French
Revolution and ending with World War I-was a transformative period
for women philosophers in German-speaking countries and contexts.
The period spans romanticism and idealism, socialism,
Nietzscheanism, and phenomenology, philosophical movements we most
often associate with Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche,
and Marx-but rarely with women. Yet women philosophers not only
contributed to these movements, but also spearheaded debates about
their social and political implications. While today their works
are less well-known than those of their male contemporaries, many
of these women philosophers were widely-read and influential in
their own time. Their contributions shed important new light on
nineteenth-century philosophy and philosophy more generally:
revealing the extent to which various movements which we consider
distinct were joined, and demonstrating the degree to which
philosophy can transform lives and be transformed by lived
experiences and practices. In the nineteenth century, women
philosophers explored a wide range of philosophical topics and
styles. Working within and in dialogue with popular philosophical
movements, women philosophers helped shape philosophy's agenda and
provided unique approaches to existential, political, aesthetic,
and epistemological questions. Though largely deprived formal
education and academic positions, women thinkers developed a way of
philosophizing that was accessible, intuitive, and activist in
spirit. The present volume makes available to English-language
readers-in many cases for the first time-the works of nine women
philosophers, with the hope of stimulating further interest in and
scholarship on their works. The volume includes a comprehensive
introduction to women philosophers in the nineteenth century and
introduces each philosopher and her position. The translations are
furnished with explanatory footnotes. The volume is designed to be
accessible to students as well as scholars.

Through a detailed study of Herder's Enlightenment thought,
especially his philosophy of literature, Kristin Gjesdal offers a
new and sometimes provocative reading of the historical origins and
contemporary challenges of modern hermeneutics. She shows that
hermeneutic philosophy grew out of a historical, anthropological,
and poetic discourse in the mid-eighteenth century and argues that,
as such, it represents a rich, stimulating, and relevant engagement
with the potentials and limits of human meaning and understanding.
Gjesdal's study broadens our conception of hermeneutic philosophy -
the issues it raises and the answers it offers - and underlines the
importance of Herder's contribution to the development of this
discipline. Her book will be highly valuable for students and
scholars of eighteenth-century thought, especially those working in
the fields of hermeneutics, aesthetics, and European philosophy.
