(Text in German.)
In his 93rd year, the great German philosopher of Hermeneutics looks back on his work, explaining his main theses and commenting on the discussions with various personalities. He speaks about his relationship with Heidegger and his later meetings with Derrida. With regard to contemporary issues, Gadamer underlines his agreement with the major intentions of the "Frankfurt School" and his distance to the neo-conservative positions of Gehlen and Ritter, thus unfolding a compelling picture of a fascinating intellectual life.
