Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations

The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer: Volume III

About this book

Throughout his long career, Gadamer wrote and taught widely on the philosophy of the ancient world and on the connection between thinking and history. This volume exposes us to Gadamer's late views on ancient philosophy, written between 1982 and 1990, his rehabilitation of certain eighteenth- and nineteenth-century thinkers (Oetinger, Herder and Schleiermacher) and his life-long contribution to our understanding of the significance of Hegel (from 1939 to 1990). They thus show us the transformation of his thinking on the history of philosophy over the different periods of his academic career.

Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations is a remarkable demonstration and illustration of how the study of the history of philosophy contributes to the task of doing philosophy by keeping a tradition alive and offering a future to the thinkers of the past. This third volume also includes a substantial critical introduction, a critical apparatus of notes, and several glossaries.
