The Interpretative Historical Problem Of Gadamer's Hermeneutic

The German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer's monumental work Truth and Method has been considered as the most important western philosophical work. It concentrated on the idea of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutic in Truth and Method. One of the important problems is the interpretative historical problem. According to the application of natural science reasonable domination of the subjective and objective sharply dichotomy applied in the critique of spiritual science after the alignment, Gadamer concluded that the understanding was the basis of preconceived idea. To explain the historical point is the foundation of the theory of knowledge of the spiritual science.The hermeneutic was born very early in ancient Greece time. After a long historical development to 19th century, Schleiermacher made a great contribution in development from the hermeneutic, which was only known as the classical explanatory note into the philology hermeneutic with the general methodology. In Schleiermacher's opinion, hermeneutic was a kind of knowledge that avoided misunderstanding and restored the original psychological condition of the first author. Dilthey is the real father who conducted the hermeneutic into philosophy and made it become the spiritual science methodology. The life philosophy of Dilthey boasted experience, expression and understanding. On the one hand, there was a historical limitless that human being wanted to exceed himself. On the other hand, human being pursued the certain and absolute objective truth. Thus, people fell into the extensive confusion of the cycle hermeneutic. Only to the Heiddeger's time, he made a great breakthrough in theory and completes the turn point into the philosophical ontology of annotation. Heidddeger took a step from existent; he put forward the idea of the understanding preconstruction. It enlightened him to arise the hermeneutic with historical problem.On the point of humanism, Gadamer criticized the historicism, romanticism, and the historical consciousness and aesthetic consciousness, which existed between the historical and aesthetic research. Gadamer believed that some kinds of tendencies appeared under the influence of subjective and objective dichotomy of natural science and methodology of inductive and deductive method. They divided the subject and object sharply and opposed the history and reality without truly harmonious of history. Gadamer thought that the knowledge of spiritual science was built in the human history. People couldn't know things without any prejudice. With historical sense, Hermeneutic was mixed with interpreter and historical heritage in the fields of sight position.Once the idea of Gadamer's Hermeneutic was put forward, it attracted much attention from the western philosophy. Because Gadamer's theory had much subjective tendency, the German Habermas considered him as a conservatism from the point of critical sense, while the American Hirsch believed him view as a relativity in the terms of certainty of hermeneutic. Gadamer thought that history was an open unity and history kept the continuity with diversity. Gadamer's interpretative historical idea influenced Chinese literature and art theory in the positive sense.
