Hermeneutics

An admirably clear explanation of some of the key figures in the hermeneutical tradition. The sections on early and alter Heidegger are particularly good, and offer a brilliant entry-way into Heidegger's thought. I also enjoyed the section on Derrida, especially how it emphasises Heidegger's influence, and the section on Gadamer. The whole book is infused with both a clear love of the authors and works being considered as well as a sense of wit rarely found in books such as this. Highly recommended.
