Gadamer on Celan: "Who Am I and Who Are You?" and Other Essays (SUNY Series in Contemporary Continental Philosophy)

Gadamer on Celan makes all of Hans-Georg Cadamer's published writings on Paul Celan's poetry available in English for the first time. Gadamer's commentaries on Celan's work are explicitly meant for a general audience, and they are further testimony to Celan's growing importance in world literature since the Second World War. Celan's poetry has attracted the attention of many well-known figures, including Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Edmond Jabes, Otto Poggeler, and George Steiner. As Steiner has said, "It will take a long time for our sensibilities to apprehend poetry of these dimensions and this radicality." Gadamer's commentaries will help readers to listen to Celan's poetry, and to become acquainted with his only book-length commentary on a poet, using the best example of Gadamer's thinking on the relationship of philosophy and poetry Gadamer on Celan Contents The Remembrance of Language: An Introduction to Gadamer's Poetics The Corporeality of Language The Aesthetics of Refusal A Poetics of Intimacy Aktualität Notes to Bruns's Introduction Abbreviations Paul Celan Hans-Georg Gadamer Martin Heidegger Editor's Preface Foreword Foreword to the Revised Edition Who Am I and Who Are You?
