The volume brings together interpretations of Heidegger's thought by a sympathetic follower recognized as one of today's greatest living philosophers. Some of the fifteen essays, written over a period of about 25 years, look back to Gadamer's early days as a student under Heidegger. These are not abstruse musings over points of interest only to Heidegger specialists, but are engaging accounts of what Heidegger was up to, where he was coming from, and whether Gadamer agrees with it. I would say that Gadamer is recognized as a definitive German interpreter of Heidegger's thought. - Richard E. Palmer, MacMurray College
