Synopsis
One of this century's most important philosophers here focuses on Plato's Protagoras, Phaedo, Republic, and Philebus and on Aristotle's three moral treatises to show the essential continuity of Platonic and Aristotelian reflection on the nature of the good. "Well translated and usefully annotated by P. Christopher Smith.... Gadamer's book exhibits a broad and grand vision as well as a great love for the Greek thinkers."--Alexander Nehemas, New York Times Book Review "The translation is highly readable. The translator's introduction and frequent annotation provide special elucidation on points of doctrinal complexity, giving ample references to other works and rival interpretations."-- Choice "This book is an important addition to the steadily growing number of Gadamer's works available in English. In it, we see Gadamer at his best, that is, engaged in the practice of interpreting important texts from the philosophical tradition, and also at his most controversial.... I enthusiastically recommend this...challenging book as one that rewards all efforts to understand the important claims it makes on its readers."--Francis J. Ambrosio, International Philosophy Quarterly Hans-Georg Gadamer is professor of philosophy emeritus at the University of Heidelberg. He is the author of numerous books, including two others translated by Smith: Dialogue and Dialectic: Eight Hermeneutical Studies on Plato and Hegel's Dialectic: Five Hermeneutical Studies., One of this century's most important philosophers here focuses on Plato's Protagoras, Phaedo, Republic, and Philebus and on Aristotle's three moral treatises to show the essential continuity of Platonic and Aristotelian reflection on the nature of the good.

In so doing Gadamer not only succeeds in giving us an incisive example of his interpretive art but also gives us a clearer picture of the ethical dimension of his own philosophy and the practical implications of hermeneutical theory.

    Very positive experience! Excellent seller communication! I reached out with some questions and the seller got back to me immediately, and then shipped the next day after I paid for everything. Packed very carefully and securely to prevent damage! Both hoodies arrived as described, only 2 days after ordering (all the way across the country). Seller kindly combined shipping cost and shipped both hoodies together, saving me a lot in shipping cost. Good prices. Nice shirts. Thank you very much

    This seller was very good with communication. The packaging of the slipcase and books was excellent as item arrived safely. Condition of books was as described. I don't think the books have been opened, let alone read. Value was great for what I received and the market for the books. Thanks for this perfect experience!

    The shipping was very fast. The pants were well packed and protected in a sealed inner bag. The description and photos of the product were accurate. The pants are even nicer than I had expected and value for what I paid exceeded my expectations. I’m very pleased with this small family company and I will buy items from them in the future! They are on my saved list.
