Hans-Georg Gadamer was born on 11 February 1900 and died on 13 March 2002. He was the author, most notably, of Truth and Method, and, more recently, of The Beginning of Philosophy and The Beginning of Knowledge.Pol Vandevelde is Professor of Philosophy at Marquette University, USA. His previous publications include Être et Discours: La Question du Langage dans L'itinéraire de Heidegger (1927-1938) (1994) The Task of the Interpreter: Text, Meaning, and Negotiation (2005) and Heidegger and the Romantics: the Literary Invention of Meaning (2012).Arun Iyer is an instructor in Philosophy at Seattle University, USA. He is the author of Towards an Epistemology of Ruptures: The Case of Heidegger and Foucault (2014).

The translations in this volume are very readable and have a light touch about them, which also enhances access to Gadamer’s thought. By including several essays published well after Truth and Method (1960), the volume promises to make visible the nuances in his later reflections and deepen our insight into the earlier work.
