The second volume of three, this text contains Gadamer's most important untranslated writings on ethics, aesthetics and language, expertly introduced and annotated by the editors and translators.
Ethics, Aesthetics and the Historical Dimension of Language collects together Gadamer's most important untranslated writings on ethics, aesthetics and language.
With a substantial introduction by the editors exploring Gadamer's ethical project and providing an overview of his aesthetic work, this book collects Gadamer's writings on ancient ethics, including the moral philosophy of Aristotle, and on practical philosophy (first section). In the second section, Gadamer's writings on art are collected, including his examination of poetry, opera and painting among other art forms. The third section comprises Gadamer’s essays on language in its historical dimension.
This important collection is a useful resource for scholars in philosophy, studying hermeneutics, continental, 20th-century and German philosophy.
This second volume of Gadamer’s Selected Works continues the important work begun in the first, significantly adding to the availability of Gadamer’s works in translation and providing English readers with new insight into the broader compass of Gadamer’s thinking. The volume, like the series, will be essential for all interested in contemporary hermeneutics. * Jeff Malpas, Emeritus Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania, Australia *
This volume makes a significant contribution to the reception of Gadamer’s hermeneutics in the English-speaking world. The essays translated here show the extraordinary breadth of Gadamer’s concern with issues in art, language and Greek philosophy. * James Risser, Professor of Philosophy, Seattle University, USA *
