"The third in Vandeverlde and Iyer's excellent series, this volume makes accessible in English a selection of essays from the Gesammelte Werke that foreground Gadamer's engagement with the history of philosophy providing new insights into his reading of Plato and Hegel, as well as of Parmenides, Heraclitus, Oetinger, Herder and Schleiermacher. The translated texts are supplemented by a glossary and an extensive introductory essay. Thanks are due to Vandevelde and Iyer for yet another important addition to the growing body of Gadamer's work available in English." -- Jeff Malpas, Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania, Australia "Translated for the first time, these essays on Plato, Hegel, and the Romantics remind us Gadamer still has much to teach us. The introductions by Vandevelde and Ayer to this volume, and to the first two, are some of the most important secondary sources on Gadamer's thought from the last 25 years." -- David Vessey, Professor of Philosophy, Grand Valley State University, USA.
