Plato's Dialectical Ethics: Phenomenological Interpretations Relating to the Philebus

This classic work by Hans-Georg Gadamer-now translated into English for the first time-offers an extensive and imaginative interpretation of Plato's Philebus. Gadamer's earliest book, it also provides an ideal introduction to his thinking, showing how his influential hermeneutics emerged from his application of his teacher Martin Heidegger's phenomenological method to classical texts and problems.
