Reviews

This is clearly the best book-length interpretation of Gadamer's relationship to Heidegger in English. Coltman shows himself to be an insightful interpreter of both Gadamer and Heidegger, going carefully back to the German sources and citing English translations when they are available. Clear explication of key concepts is crucial in interpreting Heidegger and Gadamer, and Coltman offers the reader both clarity and accuracy. At a time when distorted and tendentious interpretations of Gadamer's hermeneutics and of its relation to Heideggerian thought are bandied about, Coltman's book is a breath of fresh air. The Language of Hermeneutics is certainly a healthy antidote to interpretations of Gadamer's philosophic hermeneutic that minimize or trivialize its relation to Heideggerian thought and misunderstand its creative appropriation of Aristotle, Plato, and Hegel. -- Richard E. Palmer, MacMurray College
