The hermeneutic nature of analytic philosophy

About this book

"Ernst Tugendhat is known more for his philosophical turn than for his phenomenological studies or for his position within analytic philosophy, and this creates some confusion regarding his philosophical propensities. Is Tugendhat analytic or Continental? Is he a follower of Wittgenstein or Heidegger? Does he belong in the culture of analysis or in that of tradition? Santiago Zabala presents Tugendhat as an example of merged horizons, promoting a philosophical historiography that is concerned more with dialogue and less with classification. In doing so, he places us squarely within a dialogue culture of the future and proves that any such labels impoverish philosophical research." "Santiago Zabala is Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at Potsdam University Institute of Philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
