"In this book, [author] shows that Gadamer's engagement with Kant, Hegel, and Schleiermacher is integral to his conception of hermeneutics. She argues that a failure to take this aspect of Gadamer's philosophy into account leads to a misunderstanding of the most pressing problem of post-Heideggerian hermeneutics: the tension between the commitment to the self-criticism of reason, on the one hand, and the turn towards the meaning-constituting authority of tradition, on the other. Her study offers an illuminating assessment of both the merits and the limitations of Gadamer's thought."--Book jacket.
