This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.seekingthehiddenthing.comAthenian and I get together to begin working through the foundational concepts for Gadamer's argument that it is intuition and not method that give us access to understanding and thus truth.Athenian Stranger and I work through the first of these crucial foundational concepts for Gadamer as he works to establish intuition as the ground of understanding and thus truth.
