Jean Grondin & Kathryn Plant 
Philosophy of Gadamer [PDF ebook] 

Grondin situates Gadamer’s concerns in the context of traditional philosophical issues, showing, for example, how Gadamer both continues and significantly modifies Descartes‘ approach to the philosophical problem of method and advances rather than simply follows Heidegger’s treatment of the relationship of thinking to language. In doing this Grondin shows that the issues of philosophical hermeneutics are relevant to contemporary concerns in science and history.
