GESAMMELTE WERKE BD1 HERMENEUTIK - HANS-GEORG G...

Gadamer's main work  "Truth and Method " will be published in 2010  exactly 50 years after the
first edition  in a slightly corrected version as an inexpensive student edition. This is seen
as one of the few standard works of German post-war philosophy which has achieved worldwide
recognition. The huge reaction to this is surprising for many reasons  among other things
because in this work an important new theory is presented in intimations only using the
author's own conceptual instruments  in fact the author is careful when touching on ancient
themes in the philosophical approach to the world. The main question in the work is: What
actually happens when we understand? Gadamer focuses on the historical dimensions of
understanding  including his famous rehabilitation of "prejudice." In addition to the
systematic excursus  the book contains an intellectual history of hermeneutics  which is
convincing in its virtuosity in dealing with a variety of inspirational figures such as Hegel 
Dilthey  Husserl and Heidegger. The amiability and objectivity with which Gadamer invites his
readers to a discussion are what account for the enormous influence of this exemplary textbook.
