"Weinsheimer . . . presents an important selection of articles from Hans-Georg Gadamer's Gesammelte Werke." -- Choice
Book Description
In this selection of writings from Hans-Georg Gadamer`s Gesammelte Werke, here translated into English for the first time, the philosopher probes deeply into the hermeneutic significance of questions surrounding religion and ethics. Gadamer discusses such issues as the nature of moral behavior, ethics as a form of knowing, and the hermeneutic task of mediating ethos and philosophical ethics with one another.

Valuable Collection of Essays, Sep 30 2005
By Richard E. Palmer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hermeneutics, Religion, and Ethics (Hardcover)
This translation of ten important essays of the late Hans-Georg Gadamer by Joel Weinsheimer, distinguised translator of the recent Gadamer biography by Jean Grondin (Yale U. Press) and co-corrector of Gadamer's , TRUTH AND METHOD, revised translation, is a valuable contribution to the growing number of Gadamer's writings in English. It offers the following ten essays:1. Kant and the Question of God (1941)
2. On the Possibility of a Philosophical Ethics (1963)
3. On the Divine in Early Greek Thought (1970)
4. The Ontological Problem of value (1971)
5. Thinking as Redemption: Plotinus between Plato and Augustine (1980)
6. Myth in the Age of Science (1981)
7. The Ethifs of Value and Practical Philosophy (1982)
8. Reflections on the Relation of Religion and Science (1984)
9. Friendship and Self-Knowledge: Reflections on the Role of Friendship in Greek Ethics.
10. Aristotle and Imperative Ethics [Kant].
The translation is deft and faithful and will be valuable to those seeking to see the relationship of Gadamer's hermeneutics to religion, science, and ethics. Highly recommended.

Gadamer on Religion and Ethics, Nov 9 2006
By Donald G. Marshall - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hermeneutics, Religion, and Ethics (Hardcover)
A splendid selection of essays dating from 1941 to 1989 and ranging from Kant to Greek philosophy from the PreSocratics to Plotinus. Topics center on ethics, friendship, religion, and science. The translation by Joel Weinsheimer is unfailingly felicitous. Gadamer is a splendid writer, and these essays are learned without being ponderous, wise, and warmly human.
