Cumberland, Rhode Island, U.S.A.: Yale Univ Pr. New. 2003. Hardcover. 0300098413 .*** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request *** *** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - BRAND NEW, FLAWLESS COPY, NEVER OPENED - 528 pp. 30 black and white illus. -- Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was one of the greatest philosophers of our era. He was also at the center of some of the centurys darkest, most complex historical events, for he chose to remain in his native Germany in the 1930s, neither supporting Hitler nor actively opposing him, but negotiating instead an "unpolitical" position that allowed him to continue his philosophical work. In this magisterial book, Jean Grondin appraises Gadamers life and achievement. Drawing on countless interviews with Gadamer and his contemporaries, Gadamers personal correspondence, and extensive archival research, Grondin traces Gadamers life as an academician and the development of his ideas, placing them in the context of his times. He sheds light on the genesis and accomplishment of Gadamers major opus, Truth and Method, the bible of modern-day hermeneutics. And he addresses the question of Gadamers attitude and actions amid the catastrophe of Nazi Germany, painting a balanced portrait of a scholar who tried to preserve German culture and tradition in the face of an invasive menace. -- AUTHOR: Jean Grondin, professor of philosophy at the University of Montreal, is the author of Introduction to Philosophical Hermeneutics, published by Yale University Press. A close pupil of Gadamer, he has been one of the most important voices in the field of hermeneutics. Joel Weinsheimer is professor of English at the University of Minnesota and general editor of the Yale Studies in Hermeneutics. -- with a bonus offer-- .
