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. In this book, Gadamer established the field of 'philosophical hermeneutics': exploring the nature of knowledge, the book rejected traditional quasi-scientific approaches to establishing cultural meaning that were prevalent after the war. 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. It was an approach that would become hugely influential in the humanities and social sciences and remains so to this day in the work of Jurgen Habermas and many others.

"This book is a virtual case study in the application of hermeneutical principles to illuminate philosophical texts. The book contains translations of eight of Gadamer's best known essays on Plato....These studies, spanning a period of almost fifty years, are important not only for what they have to say concerning Plato, but also for what they reveal about the development and insightfulness of Gadamer's hermeneutical theory of interpretation....[He] aims at dialogue with Plato and achieves it."--Jeremiah P. Conway, International Philosophical Quarterly"A remarkable felicitous set of translations."--Martin Warner, Times Higher Education Supplement"Gadamer is among the most eminent followers of Heidegger and rather more accessible that most. It is therefore a service to have these eight essays on Plato, dating from 1934 to 1974, translated competently into English."--Choice"May be the best introduction to Gadamer yet published in this country."--W.G. Regier, Modern Language Notes

Throughout his long career, Gadamer wrote and taught widely on the philosophy of the Ancient world. In this volume, moving from the Pre-Socratics to Plato, Gadamer explores the legacy that Ancient thought left for such philosophical giants as Kant, Schleiermacher and Hegel. Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations also includes a substantial critical introduction in which the Editors reconstruct Gadamer's views on how the study of the history of philosophy contributes to the task of doing philosophy by keeping a tradition alive and moving it into the future. This final volume of the The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer also includes a thorough bibliography of Gadamer's available writings in English and key secondary studies of his Philosophical Hermeneutics. Available in English for the first time, Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations is comprised of the most important of Gadamer's previously untranslated writings on Ancient philosophy.

Contains 13 essays from "Kleine Schriften", dealing with hermeneutical reflection, phenomenology, existential philosophy, and philosophical hermeneutics. This book applies hermeneutical analysis to Heidegger and Husserl's phenomenology.

This volume explores some of the more important of Hans-Georg Gadamer's extensive writings on art and literature. These essays focus particularly on the challenge issued by modern painting and literature to our customary ideas of art, and in turn revitalise our understanding of it. They are readily accessible to beginning students and general readers.
