The third in Vandeverlde and Iyer’s excellent series, this volume makes accessible in English a selection of essays from the <i>Gesammelte Werke </i>that foreground Gadamer’s engagement with the history of philosophy providing new insights into his reading of Plato and Hegel, as well as of Parmenides, Heraclitus, Oetinger, Herder and Schleiermacher. The translated texts are supplemented by a glossary and an extensive introductory essay. Thanks are due to Vandevelde and Iyer for yet another important addition to the growing body of Gadamer’s work available in English.

Translated for the first time, these essays on Plato, Hegel, and the Romantics remind us Gadamer still has much to teach us. The introductions by Vandevelde and Ayer to this volume, and to the first two, are some of the most important secondary sources on Gadamer’s thought from the last 25 years.

David Vessey, Professor of Philosophy, Grand Valley State University, USA

Throughout his long career, Gadamer wrote and taught widely on the philosophy of the ancient world. In this volume, moving from the Pre-Socratics to Plato, Gadamer explores the legacy that ancient thought left for such philosophical giants as Kant, Schleiermacher and Hegel.Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations also includes a substantial critical introduction in which the Editors reconstruct Gadamer's views on how the study of the history of philosophy contributes to the task of doing philosophy by keeping a tradition alive and moving it into the future. This final volume of the The Selected Writings of Hans-Georg Gadamer also includes a thorough bibliography of Gadamer's available writings in English and key secondary studies of his philosophical hermeneutics.Available in English for the first time, Ancient Sources, Modern Appropriations is comprised of the most important of Gadamer's previously untranslated writings on ancient philosophy.
