In this book, Jean Grondin appraises Gadamer's life and achievement. Drawing on countless interviews with Gadamer and his contemporaries, Gadamer's personal correspondence, and extensive archival research, Grondin traces Gadamer's life as an academician and the development of his ideas, placing them in the context of his times. He sheds light on the genesis and accomplishment of Gadamer's major opus, Truth and Method, the bible of modern-day hermeneutics. And he addresses the question of Gadamer's attitude and actions amid the catastrophe of Nazi Germany, painting a balanced portrait of a scholar who tried to preserve German culture and tradition in the face of an invasive menace.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Jean Grondin, Joel Weinsheimer</note> <subject> <topic>Biographies</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Gadamer, Hans-Georg</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Philosophy</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">193</classification> <classification authority="ddc">J43-G88</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780300098419, 0300098413</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11046/gadamer.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/11046/gadamer.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordContentSource authority="marcorg"/> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2023-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070953.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
