Description

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.
