Consequences of Hermeneutics
Book (italiano):
Gathered here, upon the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Hans-Georg Gadamer's Truth and Method, are twenty-one essays by the world's leading thinkers in contemporary hermeneutic theory. A tribute to the continuing relevance of Gadamer's thought, these essays examine the achievements of hermeneutics as well as its current status and prospects for the future.<BR><BR>The publication of Hans-Georg Gadamer's magnum opus Turth and Method in 1960 marked the arrival of philosophical hermeneutics as a dominant force in philosophy and the humanities as a whole.<BR><BR>Consequences of Hermeneutics celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of one of the most important philosophical works of the twentieth century with essay by most of the leading figurs in contemporary hermeneutic theory, including Gianni Vattimo and Jean Grondin.<BR><BR>Gadamer's text provides an important focus, but the amibition of these critical reappraisals extends to hermeneutics more broadly and to a range of other thinkers, such as Heidegger, Ricoeurm, Derrida, and Rorty. Forcefully demosntrating the continuing relevance and power of hermeneutics, Consequences of Hermeneutics is fitting tribute to Gadamer and the legacy of his thought.
