Features: The essays collected in Philosophical Hermeneutics are all writings by Gadamer on philosophy written after the publication of Truth and Method. They not only provide further elaboration on the important principles proposed in Truth and Method, but also supplement and develop them. For those who wish to systematically understand philosophical hermeneutics, this book will be a must-read. Philosophical Hermeneutics is a collection of essays on philosophical hermeneutics selected by the American scholar David E. Linge from Gadamer's three-volume Collected Works. The book consists of thirteen essays, divided into two parts. The first part includes seven essays that primarily expound the basic principles of philosophical hermeneutics, while the second part discusses the relationship between philosophical hermeneutics and other philosophical schools. A preface by Linge, written for the English translation, provides a detailed introduction to philosophical hermeneutics and the content of the entire book.
