71Looking Back with Gadamer Over his Writings and their Effective HistoryTheory, Culture and Society 23 (1): 85-100. 2006.In this interview with Jean Grondin, Gadamer discusses the meaning ‘linguisticality’ and acknowledges his intellectual debt to Heidegger, Augustine, Vico and classical Greek philosophy. Heidegger’s influence on Gadamer can be seen in Gadamer’s awareness of pernicious ontological effects of the Latinization of European language, his awareness of the centrality of technology to the understanding of contemporary philosophical problems and the idea that ‘language speaks’. From Augustine, Gadamer der…Read more

7Stirrings (Still) of an Unlikely Metaphysical Reading of HermeneuticsJournal of Gadamer Studies 1 (1): 77-98. 2025.This essay argues for an unlikely metaphysical reading of hermeneutics that draws on Gadamer’s understanding of Heidegger as a thinker who wanted to overcome the nominalist and nihilistic dead-end of modernity. It argues that Gadamer not only had a far more sympathetic and dialogical understanding of metaphysics than his teacher Heidegger but that he himself also relied heavily on the Platonic metaphysics of the Beautiful and the Medieval metaphysics of the transcendentals to establish his main …Read more

8Traces of sedimentation in GadamerContinental Philosophy Review 1-14. forthcoming.Gadamer rarely spoke of sedimentation and is not known as a philosopher who had much to say about the issue. This article would like to make the case that he is an important thinker of sedimentation and one who stands, in this regard as in others, in the best tradition of phenomenology. If one understands by sedimentation what is “deposited” in consciousness and determines it, but of which it is not always aware of, nor can become fully conscious of, one does find in Gadamer’s thinking quite a f…Read more

Die Philosophie der ReligionPhilosophie der Religion: Eine SkizzeMohr Siebeck. 2012._English summary:_ What would philosophy be without religion? It certainly emerged out of religion since the idea of a cosmos governed by reason was a religious tenet before it became the silent thread of the philosophical quest for truth. It implied the evidence of a purpose of life which philosophy also took up as it tried to offer a form of wisdom. The best philosophers were acutely aware that the wisdom of religion preceded philosophy. This is why their endeavors always relied on a thought-o…Read more
