Platos Dialectical Ethics: Phenomenological Interpretations Relating to the Phil

Description: Platos Dialectical Ethics by Hans-Georg Gadamer An English translation of Gadamers earliest work, which serves both as an extensive and imaginative interpretation of Platos "Philebus" and as an introduction to Gadamers thinking, showing how his influential hermeneutics emerged from his application of Heideggers phenomenological method. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description "Platos Dialectical Ethics", Gadamers earliest work, has now been translated into English for the first time. This work, published in 1931 and reprinted in 1967 and 1982, is still important today, both as one of the most extensive and imaginative interpretations of Platos "Philebus" and as an introduction to Gadamers thinking, showing how his influential hermeneutics emerged from his application of his teacher Martin Heideggers phenomenological method to classical texts and problems. The work consists of two chapters. The first, which puts Socratic/Platonic dialectics and ethics in the context of Gadamers thinking about how we come to shared understanding through conversation, helps to clarify the intentions and trajectory of all Gadamers subsequent work. The second chapter on the "Philebus", should interest those concerned with the connection between Platos discussions of ethics and those of Aristotle, and with the substantive issues of the relation between pleasure and reason that Plato explores and Gadamer interprets. This edition includes a new introduction by the translator, Robert M. Wallace. Author Biography Hans-Georg Gadamer is Professor Emeritus at the University of Heidelberg.
