published to date, covering all the key aspect of his work as well
as his legacy and impact on related disciplines Gadamer is a
founding figure in the study of hermeneutics, a significant
movement in 20th century philosophy Gadamer's thought has also had
an important impact in related fields such as religion, literature,
education and sociology, where this volume will be extremely useful

Few topics have received broader attention within contemporary
philosophy than that of responsibility. Theodore George makes a
novel case for a distinctive sense of responsibility at stake in
the hermeneutical experiences of understanding and interpretation.
He argues for the significance of this hermeneutical responsibility
in the context of our relations with things, animals and others, as
well as political solidarity and the formation of solidarities
through the arts, literature and translation.
Don't let emotions--your own, or someone else's--control your
life
Feeling extreme emotion is part of being human. We may feel
overwhelming joy at the birth of a child, crippling terror at the
sight of an intruder in our home, or unbearable sadness upon the
death of a loved one. While we may be surprised at the force of our
feelings, they are normal and are not a cause for concern. What's
concerning is when strong emotions cause us to spin out of control
and make us behave in ways we later wish we hadn't.
In Untangling the Mind, Dr. George explains how to: Identify the
difference between a legitimate emotional reaction and a
pathological one Understand the biological basis of your hard-wired
reactions Recognize why your distress is caused by a neurological
malfunction
Dr. George, a psychiatrist, has accessed the most cutting-edge
technology, such as fMRI, facial analysis, PET scans, and chemical
infusions. With this technology, he is able to provide a deep
understanding of the inner workings of the brain that can portray a
clear picture of what happens--chemically and physically--when we
get depressed, act out, or fall into an addiction. Once we
understand what happens, we can start to live a calmer, more
harmonious life.

post-Kantian continental thought.
