About this title

Review

"A much needed contribution to a growing area of philosophical awareness....Mueller-Volmer's reader is a well-translated collection of classic primary sources: Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Heidegger, and Gadamer; Boeckh, Bultmann, Habermas, Ingarden, Apel, Humboldt, Droysen, and Chladenius are included as well....The work includes an excellent bibliography, and is highly recommended." Choice

"An extremely valuable collection of readings for anyone interested in hermeneutic theory....Complementing the excellence of the selections is a 57-page introductory essay by the editor, describing the key contributions of each author to hermeneutic theory. It is a sound, well-informed, and critically sharp treatment of the entire tradition." The European Studies Journal
