An investigation of the principle influences upon the development of Gadamer's interpretation of Plato including a survey of Heidegger's reading and a critical examination of Gadamer through the lens of Stanley Rosen's philosophy. Overall, the book aims to uncover the ideological bias hidden within Gadamer's hermeneutics and demonstrates this bias; a dialectical-Hegelian-mathematical bias, during an examination of Gadamer's interpretation of Plato. Fuyarchuk seeks to defend Rosen's metaphysics as being a ground for an inclusive and just society.
