Hans-Georg Gadamer by Jean Grondin

An appraisal of the life and achievements of German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer. Drawing on interviews, Gadamer's personal correspondence and archival research, it traces Gadamer's life as an academician and the development of his ideas, placing them in the context of his times.
"This book has no rival and is an extraordinary achievementThanks to exemplary research, the facts of Gadamer's life can be understood fully in historical context." Donald G. Marshall, University of Illinois at Chicago "Grondin's book is a welcome and gracious gift to those of us eager to understand as much as possible about one aspect of Gadamer's hermeneutic philosophy, that is, the man himself who was its occasion." Francis J. Ambrosio, Georgetown University
