Abstract

This collection of twelve essays achieves well the many objectives of the series within which it is placed: It is a useful reference book, especially in light of both the beginning biography and concluding bibliography. It is a “non-intimidating” introduction, particularly in regard to the three initial essays by Dostal, Grondin, and Wachterhauser. It has a great deal of interest for specialists in philosophical hermeneutics and in many other fields.
