Reviews
Consummately researched, lucidly written, and persuasively argued throughout, The Inner Word succeeds brilliantly in bringing to light this neglected but pivotal matter in Gadamer's work. Arthos is learned in the best 'humanist' way, for he succeeds in creating something new of his own that will speak eloquently to all of us., ". . . Arthos's book provides a rich resource in delving into both the history of the verbum and its hermeneutic appropriation by Gadamer. This work, then, is not only an essential read for Gadamerian scholars but also a valuable source for those interested in engaging the masters of medieval thought with the hermeneutic turn." - International Philosophical Quarterly, While offering a close reading of Gadamer's position on the inner word, the author's book stands as a valid contribution to the philosophy and theology of 'Logos,' one that leads the reader to a more profound understanding of the nature of language and the linguistic self., "John Arthos's . . . book . . . will be a model for future scholarship on Gadamer's intellectual inheritance. . . . Drawing widely from Gadamer's writings while focusing on one crucial move in Gadamer's argument, it provides both a systemic interpretation of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics and an informative overview of those views-ancient, medieval and modern-that helped shape crucial aspects of Gadamer's thought.

For Arthos's purpose is not only to exegete these pages but to inquire 'into the paradigmatic significance of a hermeneutic logos for our culture.' . . .

Arthos brings his considerable knowledge of hermeneutics and rhetoric to bear on Gadamer's insight, recounting the rich intellectual history to which Gadamer gestures, and providing an extended and detailed exegesis of this pivotal point in the third part of Truth and Method . Gadamer's account of 'linguisticality,' Arthos explains, can best be understood through his use of a complex metaphor--the 'inner word.' Arthos matches his erudition with clear and clean prose, and his account exemplifies, rather than just describes, Gadamer's hermeneutical philosophy. Any scholar interested in Gadamer's philosophy should have this book on his or her shelf." --Francis J. Mootz III, William S. Boyd Professor of Law, William S.

Synopsis
This intellectual history and textual analysis of Hans-Georg Gadamer's famous and obscure theme of the verbum interius , or "inner word," serves as an indispensable guide to and reference for hermeneutic theory. John Arthos here gives a full exposition and interpretation of the medieval doctrine of the inner word, long one of the most challenging ideas in Gadamer's Truth and Method . The scholastic idea of a word that is thought but not yet spoken served Augustine as an analogy for the procession of the Trinity, served Aquinas as the medium between divine ideas and human expression, and serves Gadamer as an expression of the embodied nature of human language. Arthos offers a history of the idea of the inner word in ancient and medieval thought, its place in German philosophy, and its significance for probing the deepest implications of hermeneutic understanding. Arthos also provides a close reading of Gadamer's exegesis of the source texts of the doctrine of the inner word. He cross-references Gadamer's analyses with the original texts and draws out their Heideggerian and Hegelian overtones. Through this close reading, Arthos deepens our understanding of the radical nature of Gadamer's thought, which not only calls upon the authority of tradition but also develops some of the profoundest insights of classical and Judaeo-Christian teaching about language, This intellectual history and textual analysis of Hans-Georg Gadamer's famous and obscure theme of the verbum interius , or "inner word," serves as an indispensable guide to and reference for hermeneutic theory.
