Ethics, Aesthetics and the Historical Dimension of Language
Ethics, Aesthetics and the Historical Dimension of Language collects together Gadamer's most important untranslated writings on ethics, aesthetics, and language.
With a substantial introduction by the editors exploring Gadamer's ethical project and providing an overview of his aesthetic work, this book collects Gadamer's writings on ancient ethics, including the moral philosophy of Aristotle, and on practical philosophy (first section).
In the second section, Gadamer's writings on art are collected, including his examination of poetry, opera, and painting among other art forms. The third section comprises Gadamerβs essays on language in its historical dimension.
This important collection is a useful resource for scholars in philosophy, particularly those studying hermeneutics, continental, 20th-century, and German philosophy.
