Gadamer explores the layers of interpretation and misinterpretation that have built up over 2500 years of pre-socratic scholarship. Moving from Simplicius and Diogenes Laertius to the 19th-century German historicists to Hegel, Nietzsche and Heidegger, Gadamer presents here his work on philosophy before Plato and Aristotle and one of only a few extended treatments of the pre-socratics in his entire body of work.
