Gadamer’s Hermeneutical Aesthetics, Routledge 2022
For those interested, my recent book, Gadamer’s Hermeneutical Aesthetics Art as a Performative, Dynamic, Communal Event (in the Series: Routledge Research in Aesthetics) has been published. Below is a brief description of the book.
This book offers a sustained scholarly analysis of Gadamer’s reflections on art and our experience of art. It examines fundamental themes in Gadamer’s 
hermeneutical aesthetics such as play, festival, symbol, contemporaneity, enactment, art’s performative ontology, and hermeneutical identity. The first two chapters focus on Gadamer’s critical appropriation and movement beyond Kantian and Hegelian aesthetics (and includes a coda on Heidegger’s influence). The final three chapters argue for the continued relevance of Gadamer’s hermeneutical aesthetics by bringing his claims into conversation with contemporary art and music.
