Review

The translations in this volume are very readable and have a light touch about them, which also enhances access to Gadamer's thought. By including several essays published well after Truth and Method (1960), the volume promises to make visible the nuances in his later reflections and deepen our insight into the earlier work. * Phenomenological Reviews *This project is commendable, and although Gadamer develops many of the themes of this volume in books and essays already available in English, it constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, and more broadly, the overall nature, context, and development of German philosophy in the twentieth-century. This volume should therefore be of interest to readers of Gadamer, continental philosophy more generally, and indeed anyone concerned with the relation between philosophy and its history.[...] The material on Bourdieu, Habermas, and Derrida is particularly illuminating as it presents Gadamer's responses to contemporaries, each of whom, in their own way, represent direct challenges to Gadamer's phenomenological, linguistic, and hermeneutical positions. [...] This reader found especially helpful the editors' account of how Gadamer's philosophy of history relates to his philosophy of language. * Phenomenological Reviews *
