Internationales Jahrbuch für Hermeneutik

This yearbook represents a broad basis of one of the main trends in present-day philosophy with its counterparts in other sectors of the humanities. Hermeneutics sees itself as a successor to German Idealism and to the philosophy which originated in Germany and Europe during the 19th and the 20th century. In a broad sense, hermeneutics can be seen here as a counterbalance to analytical philosophy. Particular emphasis is also placed on the reference to antiquity as the origin of European philosophy. To honor the publication of Hans-Georg Gadamer's major work in 1960, this year's volume is dedicated to the topic » Truth and Method after Fifty Years«.
