Hans Georg-Gadamer is best known in the English-speaking world for his major work on philosophical hermeneutics, Truth and Method; he has also written extensively on the subject of Plato. Most commentators on Gadamer's work therefore view Gadamer either as a historian of philosophy or as a philosopher in his own right, critically engaged in the philosophical issues of our time. In Beyond Being, Brice R. Wachterhauser contends that this perceived bifurcation in Gadamer's work oversimplifies and distorts important parts of Gadamer's thought. Wachterhauser argues that only by viewing Gadamer's contribution to philosophy as an integrated whole and by reading Gadamer's hermeneutical studies in light of his Plato studies are we able to avoid certain key misunderstandings of Gadamer, as well as to comprehend more clearly the radical implications of Gadamer's thought.

But it should be made clear that this is no introductory book. If you've never read Gadamer you really have to start with Truth and Method and at least get acquainted with his hermeneutic vocabulary. This work clearly assumes that level of familiarity. But this book is not as difficult as the subtitle "post-platonic hermeneutic ontology" might suggest, either. It's simply a very good discussion of Gadamer's hermeneutics for people with some prior background.
As readers of Truth and Method know, Gadamer makes very frequent use of Plato. The clarifications this book offers on that topic are brilliant and made me read Gadamer in a new way. However, in my opinion the citations were a bit inadequate. Many positions are attributed to Gadamer without clearly indicating which parts of his works support these views. So the reader must either take it on good faith or search the primary sources for verification.
Nevertheless, book-length presentations of philosophical hermeneutics in English are still fairly rare and this one definitely ranks up there with the best of them, so I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Gadamer's philosophy.
