Hans-Georg Gadamer (1900-2002) was one of the greatest philosophers of our era. He was also at the center of some of the centurys darkest, most complex historical events, for he chose to remain in his native Germany in the 1930s, neither supporting Hitler nor actively opposing him, but negotiating instead an "unpolitical" position that allowed him to continue his philosophical work. In this magisterial book, Jean Grondin appraises Gadamers life and achievement. Drawing on countless interviews with Gadamer and his contemporaries, Gadamers personal correspondence, and extensive archival research, Grondin traces Gadamers life as an academician and the development of his ideas, placing them in the context of his times. He sheds light on the genesis and accomplishment of Gadamers major opus, Truth and Method, the bible of modern-day hermeneutics. And he addresses the question of Gadamers attitude and actions amid the catastrophe of Nazi Germany, painting a balanced portrait of a scholar who tried to preserve German culture and tradition in the face of an invasive menace.
