Abstract

An interview with one of the leading and best known representatives of Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics. He is Research Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Philosophy Research Initiative at Western Sydney University. His work covers a range of areas and themes: Hermeneutics; Ethics; Ancient Philosophy; Post-Kantian Continental Philosophy (esp. Hegel, Schelling, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Gadamer, Derrida); Aesthetics; Literary Criticism; German Romanticism. Some of his recent books: Idioms of Ethical Life (2018, forthcoming); Idiome der Wahrheit (2014); Between Word and Image (2013); Foreword to and revised translation of Heidegger’s Being and Time (2010); Difficulties of Ethical Life (2008, co-edited with Shannon Sullivan); Lyrical and Ethical Subjects: Essays on the Periphery of the Word, Freedom, and History (2005); On Germans and Other Greeks: Tragedy and Ethical Life (2001); Hermeneutische Wege: Hans-Georg Gadamer zum Hundertsten (2000, co-edited with Günter Figal), “Series in Continental Philosophy” (over 164 titles). After I finished my book Filosofar com Gadamer e Platão: Hermenêutica filosófica a partir da Carta Sétima (2018), under his supervision at Penn State, I decided to make this interview in order to address some themes in his work and his views on the state of philosophy today.
