Gadamer on Celan makes all of Hans-Georg Cadamers published writings on Paul Celans poetry available in English for the first time. Gadamers commentaries on Celans work are explicitly meant for a general audience, and they are further testimony to Celans growing importance in world literature since the Second World War. Celans 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. Gadamers commentaries will help readers to listen to Celans poetry, and to become acquainted with his only book-length commentary on a poet, using the best example of Gadamers thinking on the relationship of philosophy and poetry. This book also contains a translation of Who Am I and Who Are You?, the centerpeice of Gadamers most important philosophical project since the publication of Truth and Method (1960).
