Interrogating the Tradition - Hermeneutics and the History of Philosophy (Hardcover)

Philosophers from the US, Canada, France, the Netherlands, and Germany interpret figures in the history of Western thought from a broad, continental perspective, addressing hermeneutical thought, Heidegger and the Greeks, and the question of nature in German Idealism. Emphasis is placed on the question of origins in its various guises within the context of Western philosophy. Some topics include philosophical hermeneutics and the question of community; Heidegger's interpretation of Plato in the Sophist lectures; and dire forces of nature in Novalis, Schelling, and Hegel.
