Summary

Gadamer's, Dialectical Hermeneutics contributes to the growing literature that takes seriously the significance of Plato, for Gadamer's hermeneutics. What distinguishes this book is the way in which Lauren Swayne Barthold argues for a dialectic central to Gadamer's hermeneutics, one that recalls the Platonic chorismos, or separation, between the transcendent and sensory realms. Barthold demonstrates that Gadamer, too, insisted on thein-between.nature of human understanding as characterized by Hermes: We are finite beings always striving for infinity-that which lies beyond being.
