The philosophy of Hans-Georg Gadamer interests a wide audience that spans the traditional distinction between European (continental) and Anglo-American (analytic) philosophy.Yet one of the most important and complex aspects of his work - his engagement with German Idealism - has received comparatively little attention.In this book, Kristin Gjesdal uses a close analysis and critical investigation of Gadamer's Truth and Method (1960) to show that his engagement with Kant, Hegel, and Schleiermacher is integral to his conception of hermeneutics.She argues that a failure to engage with this aspect of Gadamer's philosophy leads to a misunderstanding of the most pressing problem of post-Heideggerian hermeneutics: the tension between the commitment to the self-criticism of reason, on the one hand, and the turn towards the meaning-constituting authority of tradition, on the other.Her study provides an illuminating assessment of both the merits and the limitations of Gadamer's thought.; PDF; Politics, Philosphy & Religion > Philosophy > History of Western philosophy, Cambridge University Press<
