In this book, the author highlights the central place of Greek philosophy, particularly Plato, in Gadamer's work, brings out differences between his thought and that of Heidegger, and connects him with discussions and debates in pragmatism. This is a sensitive philosophical portrait of one of the twentieth century's most powerful thinkers. OP - 233 NO - Originally published in Italian, 2007.
