Summary

Gadamer's Dialectical Hermeneutics affirms the continuity between Gadamer's work on Plato and his more explicitly hermeneutical work. Lauren Swayne Barthold argues that construing Gadamer's hermeneutics as dialectical clarifies this connection. Just as Gadamer emphasizes the importance of the Platonic dialogues for grasping Plato's own thought, this book demonstrates the role of dialectic for Gadamer's own concept of understanding.
