Gadamer's Hermeneutics and the Art of Conversation covers the nature of dialogue and understanding in Hans-Georg Gadamer's lingually oriented hermeneutics and its relevance for contemporary philosophy. This timely collection of essays stresses the fundamental significance of the other for a further development of Heidegger's analytics of Dasein. By recognizing the priority of the other over oneself, Gadamerian hermeneutics founds a culture of dialogue sorely needed in our multi-cultural globalized community. The essays solicited for this volume are presented in three thematic blocks: Hermeneutic Conversation, Hermeneutics, Aesthetics, and Transcendence, Hermeneutic Ethics, Education, and Politics. The volume proposes a dynamic understanding of hermeneutics as putting into practice the art of conversation.
