Relazione

"Wiley Blackwell's A Companion to Hermeneutics is destined to become an invaluable resource for its incisive discussions of all aspects of hermeneutics within the field of philosophy."
 
Burt Hopkins, Seattle University
 
"This is an extraordinarily rich collection of articles on every aspect of hermeneutics. It covers not just the history of hermeneutics from the ancient Greeks to the present, but also topics ranging from aesthetics and politics to pragmatism and deconstruction as analysed by key thinkers such as Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger, Gadamer, Vattimo and Apel. This Companion is an essential guide to the hermeneutic tradition."
 
Dermot Moran, University College Dublin
 
"Hermeneutics-- the philosophical theory of interpretation--has been one of the most influential strands of European thought over the last two hundred years or more. This comprehensive volume of essays, with contributions by many leading experts in the field, constitutes an ideal point of entry into the hermeneutic tradition. Its range and level of detail will also appeal to those who wish to advance their knowledge of hermeneutic philosophy and its many important consequences."
 
Peter Dews, University of Essex
