Using Plato and Aristotle as his starting point, his analysis moves effortlessly from Simplicius and Diogenes Laertius to the 19th-century German historicists, right through to Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGadamer shows us how some of the earliest philosophical concepts, such as truth, equality, nature, spirit, and being, came to be and how our understanding of them today is deeply indebted to Presocratic thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is based on a series of lectures delivered by Gadamer in 1967, which were then translated into English and edited by Gadamer for this collection. This is a major philosophical-historical work from one of the 20th century’s greatest thinkers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000765137132,"sku":"9781474294461","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25082133482712.jpg?v=1763303066","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/the-beginning-of-philosophy-by-hans-georg-gadamer-9781474294461","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
