Opis

This book presents the first detailed treatment of Gadamer’s account of the nature of meaning. It argues both that this account is philosophically valuable in its own right and that understanding it sheds new light on his wider hermeneutical project.

Recenzje

"By using the lens of the event of meaning, DaVia and Lynch revive the legacy of Gadamer’s hermeneutics and show Gadamer in a new light, opening up new encounters with his work from both continental and analytic philosophical approaches to language, meaning, and interpretation."

Gert-Jan van der Heiden, Radboud University, The Netherlands
