Here is a volume titled HERMENEUTICS AND TRUTH from the series NORTHWESTERN STUDIES IN PHENOMENOLOGY AND EXISTENTIAL PHILOSOPHY, edited by Brice Wachterhauser. The claim that all human thought involves "interpretation," that all human thought is in some way relative to a contingent context of cognitive, theoretical, practical, and aesthetic considerations, has become widely accepted, but what we understand by "truth" and how we should best pursue it are questions raised with renewed force once a hermeneutical starting point has been embraced. Brice R. Wachterhauser's collection Hermeneutics and Truth is an attempt to contribute to this conversation. No thinkers have wrestled with the issue of truth and interpretation in more illuminating ways for the Continental tradition of philosophy than Heidegger and Gadamer. Hermeneutics and Truth is a dual focus on Heidegger and Gadamer, but it concentrates primarily on Gadamer's efforts to think through the issue of truth for hermeneutics and only secondarily on Heidegger's thought on this issue. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Truth in the human sciences / Hans-Georg Gadamer -- What is truth? / Hans-Georg Gadamer -- The experience of truth for Gadamer and Heidegger : taking time and sudden lightning / Robert J.
