Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002), one of the towering figures of
contemporary Continental philosophy, is best known for Truth and
Method, where he elaborated the concept of "philosophical
hermeneutics," a programmatic way to get to what we do when we
engage in interpretation. Donatella Di Cesare highlights the
central place of Greek philosophy, particularly Plato, in Gadamer's
work, brings out differences between his thought and that of
Heidegger, and connects him with discussions and debates in
pragmatism. This is a sensitive and thoroughly readable
philosophical portrait of one of the 20th century s most powerful
thinkers."
