The author of this article proposes his own approach to a possible
understanding of the problem of hermeneutic knowledge by Hans-Georg
Gadamer. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the description of the
German philosopher hermeneutic circle. The methodological significance of
this theoretical construction follows from Gadamer's own understanding as
the author that it is his central point for understanding hermeneutical
knowledge. The components, the functioning mechanism and the
methodological problems of the circle are analyzed. The emphasis is on the
meaning, place and role of language in Gadamer's hermeneutical concept in
relation to understanding, text, the world as a whole.
Key words:
hermeneutics, hermeneutic circle, understanding,
interpretation, eventfulness, language, knowledge, practice.
Hermeneutics has its foundations in understanding. Complete
knowledge cannot be achieved for the lack of understanding. It has inherent
validity within science. Gadamer invariably focuses his attention on his main
sphere of interest – the possibility of understanding. For example, the ability
of historical consciousness to understand is only one tool for its application.
A more serious search will direct not to the possible means of his expression.
It will require that the authentic moment of understanding itself be brought to
