Ethics, aesthetics and the historical dimension of language

Hans-Georg Gadamer

Translated by Pol Vandevelde, Arun Iyer

The book collects together Gadamer's most important untranslated writings on ethics, aesthetics and language. It includes essays on ancient ethics, including the moral philosophy of Aristotle and Greek practical philosophy (first section), essays on art, poetry, opera and painting (second section), and essays on language in its historical dimension (third section). This important collection is a useful resource for scholars in philosophy, studying hermeneutics, continental, 20th-century and German philosophy.
