Truth and Method is a landmark work of 20th century thought which
established Hans Georg-Gadamer as one of the most important
philosophical voices of the 20th Century. In this book, Gadamer
established the field of 'philosophical hermeneutics': exploring the
nature of knowledge, the book rejected traditional quasi-scientific
approaches to establishing cultural meaning that were prevalent after
the war. In arguing the 'truth' and 'method' acted in opposition to
each other, Gadamer examined the ways in which historical and cultural
circumstance fundamentally influenced human understanding. It was an
approach that would become hugely influential in the humanities and
social sciences and remains so to this day in the work of Jurgen
Habermas and many others.
