Providing a concise and
accessible introduction to the work of the celebrated twentieth century German
philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, this book focuses on the aspects of Gadamer’s
philosophy that have been the most influential among architects, educators in
architecture, and architectural theorists. Gadamer’s philosophy of art gives a special place to the activity of
"play" as it occurs in artistic creation. His reflections on
meaning and symbolism in art draw upon his teacher, Martin Heidegger, while
moving Heidegger’s thought in new directions. His theory of interpretation, or
"philosophical hermeneutics," offers profound ways to understand the
influence of the past upon the present and to appropriate cultural history in
ever new forms. For
architects, architectural theorists, architectural historians, and students in
these fields, Gadamer’s thought opens a world of possibilities for
understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to
architecture’s history in ways that do not merely repeat nor repudiate that
history. In addition, Gadamer’s sensitivity to the importance of practical
thinking – to the way that theory arises out of practice – gives his thought a
remarkable usefulness in the everyday work of professional life.
