The Idea of the Good in Platonic-Aristotelian Philosophy (German: Die Idee des Guten zwischen Plato und Aristoteles) is a 1978 book by the philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer.[1][2] P. Christopher Smith considers it among Gadamer's most important books, because it represents an extended example of Gadamerian hermeneutical techniques and provides new insights into Platonic-Aristotelian philosophy.[3]
