The book is an exploration of the affinities between Hans-Georg
Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics and Virginia Woolf's
philosophy of beauty and Being embodied in her oeuvre. The study
addresses beauty as a mode of being rather than a mere adornment of
human existence. Tracing Plato's legacy in the two authors, it
espouses the proximity of truth and beauty, and argues for beauty's
restorative capacity discerned in the repetitive patterns of the
universe. Showing the poetics of Gadamer and Woolf as mutually
interpenetrating, it encourages to see the beauty of the poetic
word as a gateway to Being. This meditation on beauty and Being
contests the prevailing ways of thinking about the (in)dependent
fields of literature and philosophy.
