Truth and Method

Book • 1979
Hans-Georg Gadamer's "Truth and Method" is a seminal work in hermeneutics, the theory of interpretation.

Gadamer challenges traditional epistemological approaches, arguing that understanding is always situated within a historical and cultural context.

He emphasizes the role of dialogue and tradition in shaping our understanding of the world.

The book's influence extends to various fields, including philosophy, literary theory, and the humanities.

Gadamer's work continues to be studied and debated.
