Summary

Hans Georg Gadamer: Truth and Method

Foundations of Philosophical Hermeneutics

Truth and Method, the life work of Hans Georg Gadamer, is one of the most significant philosophical books of the twentieth century. In more than 700 pages of dense text, which bears the modest subtitle "Fundamentals of Philosophical Hermeneutics", the great German philosopher wove his vast philosophical and life experience, mixed philosophical epochs and brought great concepts to bursting point and introduced motifs that, more than half a century after the publication of this book, excite readers and serve as inspiration for completely new and fresh philosophical endeavors.

On the one hand, an impeccable connoisseur of Greek philosophy, on the other educated in the spirit of Heidegger's phenomenology, a tireless reader of Kant and Hegel, sensitive to subtle nuances in art, Gadamer makes philosophical hermeneutics an indispensable philosophical procedure which, judging by the clarity of insight, has always been there, within reach, but a masterful invention was needed to make it clearly visible and effective: philosophical hermeneutics. Gadamer starts from a trivial insight: the methods of the humanities are loose compared to the methods of the natural sciences, while, when it comes to art, we can hardly speak of a method at all. How, then, can we talk about truth in the humanistic sciences, or art, if they are devoid of methods that, in some way, show the way to the truth? Instead of retreating in the face of adversity, Gadamer radicalizes the dilemma and turns the matter around: what kind of truth do the natural sciences offer us, and what kind of truth do the humanities, art and philosophy offer us? The method that interests him does not lead to the truths of physics or geology, but to truths that are so complex that confronting them requires the possibility of a deep transformation of the one who interprets a work of art or philosophy. In this game of truth and method, the stakes are subject and object, essence and attributes, nature and culture, play and seriousness, the world and our place in it, everything that appears in our lives as unquestionable and close, but which, after the intervention of philosophical hermeneutics, becomes problematic and distant.

"Truth and Method" is a book for the brave.
