Vom Zirkel des Verstehens

Gadamer's short but extremely influential text points to the centre of his theory: it forms the most important preliminary stage of his main work
Truth and Method
(1960): Here Gadamer outlines the approach of his new philosophical hermeneutics, which attempts to overcome the historical objectivism of historicism and romantic hermeneutics (especially Schleiermacher).

The volume traces the course of argumentation and the survival of the text and offers a helpful introduction to Gadamer's complete works.

The "Great Papers Philosophy" series offers groundbreaking essays in philosophy:
A character-accurate, quotable reproduction of the text (the foreign-language original on the left, a new translation on the right).A philosophical-historical categorisation: how did people think about the problem in the past? What changes did the essay bring about? An analysis of the text and a reconstruction of its argumentative structure, followed by a section on the author and an annotated bibliography.
