How is this? What kind of hermeneutics does it discuss? And would you recommend?

He goes through Heidegger, Gadamer, Vattimo and Rorty; and Derrida. It focuses mainly on Hermeneutics as a Postmodern phenomenon, i.e Deconstruction.

The prose style is great but I do think he gets a bit repetitive. He manages to explain complicated ideas very simply and elegantly but doesn't go into great detail if you are looking for something academic I would look elsewhere.

Hard to recommend it as I don't know what you are looking for or who and what you have read. I enjoyed it.

I'll have a look, it certainly sounds up my street. I'm not too well read on the hermeneutic side of Postmodernism, although I 'get' the general point and the idea of deconstruction (if such an idea is to be understood or interpreted). So I'll check it out, I'm glad they've added this in the series, because it's affordable and should reach a larger audience than a hermeneutics textbook would likely reach

Thanks
