Relevance of the Beautiful and Other Essays - Gadamer Hans-Georg
This volume explores some of the more important of Hans-Georg Gadamer's extensive writings on art and literature. The eleven other essays focus particularly on the challenge issued by modern painting and literature to our customary ideas of art, and in turn revitalize our understanding of it. The principal text included is 'The Relevance of the Beautiful', Gadamer's most sustained treatment of philosophical aesthetics.
The essays here are not technical and are readily accessible to the beginning student and the general reader. Gadamer demonstrates the continuing importance of such concepts as imitation, truth, symbol, and play for our appreciation of contemporary art, and thereby establishes its continuity with the Western tradition. The collection as a whole serves to illustrate the practice of hermeneutics and to introduce Gadamer's thought.
