"Santiago Zabala's monograph alone has ventured to present the English-speaking world with the philosophical development of a thinker who belongs among the very greatest. Zabala gives us a bravura performance, providing an excellent understanding of both work and context in a conceptually differentiated yet approachable language without hiding his own convictions behind those of others. I hope this book succeeds fully where Tugendhat himself had only limited success: garnering the international recognition it deserves for an important voice in the concert of European philosophy, and even, if possible, inspiring love for its subject." — Manfred Frank, professor of philosophy, University of Tubingen, and author of The Subject and the Text: Essays on Literary Theory and Philosophy
"The Hermeneutic Nature of Analytic Philosophy ably presents the thought of a first-rank philosopher who until now has been too little known. In doing so, this book bridges the frustrating canonical gap between analytic and Continental philosophy. A genuine 'must read.’" — C. G. Prado, author of Searle and Foucault on Truth
