Looking back over his life and thought, Gadamer takes up key issues in his philosophy, addresses points of controversy, and replies to his critics, including those who accuse him of having been in complicity with the Nazis. A genial and direct conversationalist, Gadamer is here captured at his best and most accessible.  The interviews took place between 1989 and 1996, and all but one appear in English for the first time in this volume. The first three conversations, conducted by Heidelberg philosopher Carsten Dutt, deal with hermeneutics, aesthetics, and practical philosophy and the question of ethics. In a fourth conversation, with University of Heidelberg classics professor Glenn W. Most, Gadamer argues for the vital importance of the Greeks for our contemporary thinking. In the next, the philosopher reaffirms his connection with phenomenology and clarifies his relation to Husserl and Heidegger in a conversation with London philosopher Alfons Grieder. In the final interview, with German Nazi expert Dörte von Westernhagen, Gadamer describes his life as a struggling young professor in Germany in the 1930s and refutes accusations of his complicity with the Nazis. These conversations are a lucid introduction for readers new to the philosopher’s thought, and for experts they present an invaluable commentary on Gadamer’s most important themes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49571487645969,"sku":"GOR011152655","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52453336809745,"sku":"NLS9780300172232","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52723130401041,"sku":"GOR012753703","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300172230.jpg?v=1762076950"},{"product_id":"truth-and-method-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9781780936246","title":"Truth and Method","description":"Truth and Method is a landmark work of 20th century thought which established Hans Georg-Gadamer as one of the most important philosophical voices of the 20th Century.

Using Plato and Aristotle as his starting point his analysis moves effortlessly from Simplicius and Diogenes Laertius to the 19th-century German historicists right through to Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger. Gadamer shows us how some of the earliest philosophical concepts such as truth, equality, nature, spirit and being came to be and how our understanding of them today is deeply indebted to Presocratic thinkers. The book is based on a series of lectures delivered by Gadamer in 1967 which were then translated into English and edited by Gadamer for this collection.

The volume begins with an autobiographical sketch and culminates in a conversation with Jean Grondin that looks back over a lifetime of productive philosophical work. The essays not already available in English have here been translated by Richard E. Palmer, a respected translator of Gadamer's writings. The sixteen essays contained in the Lesebuch are augmented here by three other essays: Gadamer's last essay on Derrida, \"\"Hermeneutics Tracking the Trace\"\" (1994) and two essays on practical philosophy. \"\"The Gadamer Reader: A Bouquet of the Later Writings\"\" richly conveys the scope and depth of Gadamer's thought, covering the range of his work in hermeneutics, aesthetics, practical philosophy, and essays on Plato, Hegel, and Heidegger. In addition, Palmer offers introductory remarks before each essay that explain its importance in the context of Gadamer's writings and define its key terms. Throughout, in both his translation and commentary, his aim is to make this critically important philosopher as clear and accessible as possible to an English-speaking audience.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50469130174737,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50469131878673,"sku":"GOR006743596","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52816426369297,"sku":"CIN0810119889G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53177019236625,"sku":"GOR012888173","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53429472657681,"sku":"CIN0810119889VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0810119889.jpg?v=1763477763"},{"product_id":"truth-and-method-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9780722092811","title":"Truth and Method","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50469257773329,"sku":"GOR006662182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52072263385361,"sku":"GOR003722163","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53120366477585,"sku":"GOR011500611","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0722092814.jpg?v=1750978552"},{"product_id":"hermeneutics-between-history-and-philosophy-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9781350091405","title":"Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy","description":"Hermeneutics between History and Philosophy collects together Gadamer's remaining important untranslated writings on the problem of history and the major philosophical traditions of the 20th century from the standpoint of hermeneutics.

But the essays do not leave off in the past; rather, they lead into the present, giving Heidegger a voice which continues to have a revolutionary impact.

Looking back over his life and thought, Gadamer takes up key issues in his philosophy, addresses points of controversy, and replies to his critics, including those who accuse him of having been in complicity with the Nazis. A genial and direct conversationalist, Gadamer is here captured at his best and most accessible. The interviews took place between 1989 and 1996, and all but one appear in English for the first time in this volume. The first three conversations, conducted by Heidelberg philosopher Carsten Dutt, deal with hermeneutics, aesthetics, and practical philosophy and the question of ethics. In a fourth conversation, with University of Heidelberg classics professor Glenn W. Most, Gadamer argues for the vital importance of the Greeks for our contemporary thinking. In the next, the philosopher reaffirms his connection with phenomenology and clarifies his relation to Husserl and Heidegger in a conversation with London philosopher Alfons Grieder. In the final interview, with German Nazi expert Dorte von Westernhagen, Gadamer describes his life as a struggling young professor in Germany in the 1930s and refutes accusations of his complicity with the Nazis. These conversations are a lucid introduction for readers new to the philosopher's thought, and for experts they present an invaluable commentary on Gadamer's most important themes.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50520413077777,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50520413700369,"sku":"GOR006736094","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0300084889.jpg?v=1751389979"},{"product_id":"beginning-of-knowledge-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9781474294331","title":"The Beginning of Knowledge","description":"The Beginning of Knowledge brings together almost all of Gadamer’s essays on the Presocratics.

He explores the ethical and humanist issues raised by the technological successes of modern clinical practice, and relates them to the classical conception of \"praxis\" in the philosophical tradition. In a series of lucid and engaging analyses, Gadamer eloquently defends the idea of medicine, not only as a \"science of health, but as an \"art\" of hermeneutic relevance, requiring the exercise of practical judgment and personal interpretation. We should, he argues, recognize the limits of purely technical approach to healing, as well as the importance of a qualitative approach to medical treatment. Written by one of the leading philosophers of the twentieth century, this brilliant meditation on health, illness, and the art of healing will be of interest to general readers as well as students of philosophy and social thought.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51007486722321,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51007489900817,"sku":"NIN9780804726917","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0804726914.jpg?v=1751138953"},{"product_id":"beginning-of-philosophy-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9780826412256","title":"Beginning of Philosophy","description":"Hans-Georg Gadamer is considered to have made the most important contribution to hermeneutics of this century through his major work, Truth and Method.

Dieses Buch, das sein Autor erst im Alter von 60 Jahren schrieb, wurde zu einem Überraschungserfolg der philosophischen Literatur. Als eines der wenigen weltweit anerkannten Standardwerke der deutschen Nachkriegsphilosophie wurde es in viele Sprachen übersetzt.  Die große Resonanz könnte aus vielerlei Gründen erstaunen, unter anderem weil hier nur in Andeutungen eine große neue Theorie mit eigenem begrifflichen Instrumentarium vorgestellt wird; der Autor umkreist vorsichtig uralte Themen des philosophischen Weltzugangs. Vor allem geht es um die Frage: Was geschieht eigentlich, wenn wir verstehen? Er stellt die geschichtliche Dimension des Verstehens in den Mittelpunkt, auch durch seine berühmte Rehabilitierung des \"Vorurteils\". Die systematischen Exkurse werden ergänzt durch eine Geistesgeschichte der Hermeneutik, die in ihrer virtuosen Behandlung so unterschiedlicher Anreger wie Hegel, Dilthey, Husserl und Heidegger überzeugt.

In arguing the 'truth' and 'method' acted in opposition to each other, Gadamer examined the ways in which historical and cultural circumstance fundamentally influenced human understanding.

In this selection of writings from Gesammelte Werke that are here translated into English for the first time, Gadamer probes deeply into the hermeneutic significance of these subjects.  Gadamer raises issues of importance to ethicists and theologians as well as students of language and literature. In such outstanding essays as \"Kant and the Question of God,\" \"Thinking as Redemption: Plotinus between Plato and Augustine,\" and \"Friendship and Self-Knowledge: Reflections on the Role of Friendship in Greek Ethics,\" Gadamer discusses the nature of moral behavior, ethics as a form of knowing, and the hermeneutic task of mediating ethos and philosophical ethics with one another.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52401090330897,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52401091117329,"sku":"NLS9780300178302","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780300178302.jpg?v=1758753609"},{"product_id":"truth-and-historicity-verite-et-historicite-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9789024712021","title":"Truth and Historicity \/ Vérité et Historicité","description":"Der Verlag Nijhoff hat sich bereiterklart, die Akten der Tagungen des Institut International de Philosophie kiinftig in seine verlege- rische Obhut zu nehmen.

These ten dialogues distill and situate Gadamer's philosophy in the context of what has arguably been the bloodiest century in human history. In the course of the interviews, Gadamer addresses-often critically-the work of a wide variety of philosophers, including Heidegger, Nietzsche, Jaspers, Popper, Vico, Habermas, Rorty, and Derrida. He also elaborates on German philosophy during the Nazi period; and, in one of the more fascinating conversations, we are treated to a glimpse of Gadamer's personal perspective on the question of Heidegger's Nazism, including a discussion of the political influence that great philosopher's wife, Elfirde, had on him that tends to contradict most other published accounts.

Seine historische Rekonstruktion führt ihn dabei von der deutschen Romantik und dem deutschen Idealismus - vor allem Schleiermacher und Hegel - über Droysens 'Historik' und Diltheys lebensphilosophisch inspirierte Hermeneutik bis zu Heideggers 'Hermeneutik der Faktizität'. Hans-Georg Gadamer setzt sich vor allem mit der in dieser Rekonstruktion aufkommenden Vorstellung von 'Geschichte' und 'Geschichtlichkeit' und mit deren Bedeutung für die Hermeneutik auseinander. Er entwickelt in Anlehnung an zentrale Ideen der aristotelischen Philosophie seinen Ansatz einer nicht nur Geschichte thematisierenden, sondern sich selbst sui generis geschichtlich verstehenden und prozedierenden Hermeneutik, die die eigene Traditionsgebundenheit nicht als Manko, sondern als Aufgabe begreift. Die Logik der Argumentation folgt dabei der in seinem Hauptwerk Wahrheit und Methode entworfenen Linie, nur eben in knapper gehaltener und daher prägnanter formulierter Form. Entstanden 1958 kurz nach der Fertigstellung von Wahrheit und Methode und vorgetragen als eine erste Präsentation seines Neuansatzes vor einem französischen Publikum, läßt sich dieser Text als eine Einführung in Gadamers Denken und zugleich als eine Kurzversion seines Hauptwerkes verstehen.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52665858162961,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52665859113233,"sku":"NLS9783161475900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783161475900.jpg?v=1762342093"},{"product_id":"gesammelte-werke-book-hans-georg-gadamer-9783162447876","title":"Gesammelte Werke","description":"Die Bande 5 bis 7 werden alle meine Studien zur griechischen Philosophie umfassen.
