Since the start of the western Hermeneutics' traditional, it implies the practice factors, an interpretation for rule of law and commandments of theology always inseparable from reality application, just because the Romantic Hermeneutics cover, people just for this factor to ignore it. Gadamer's "the rediscovery of basic questions of Hermeneutics" was taken the genetic relationship appeared between Hermeneutics and Practical Philosophy. Gadamer's thoughts inherited the tradition of ancient Greek's Practical Philosophy, will combine with the Ontological Hermeneutics, puts forward the theory of Hermeneutics as Practical Philosophy. After the 1960s, Gadamer was continuous published articles about of Hermeneutics as Practical Philosophy and Hermeneutics as dual tasks of theory and practice, for the theory of Hermeneutics made a thorough review and summarize of form the angle of Practical Philosophy, Hermeneutics as Practical Philosophy will become reasonable original of Gadamer's thoughts.Gadamer's Practical Philosophy directly inherited the concept of Aristotle's Practical Wisdom, through the analysis of Aristotle's concept of Practical Wisdom, pure science and the applied science or skill, finally make scientific natural knowledge and humanities knowledge of practice, the difference between the application of science and technology and the application of practical wisdom show clearly,used this distinction. Gadamer thought practical wisdom itself was a kind of moral behavior, the emphasis on Practical Wisdom would make Gadamer rediscovery Hermeneutics' application problems, prompted linked between the thought of Aristotle's Practical Philosophy and the application of comprehension of Hermeneutics. points out that analysis of Aristotle's Practical Philosophy in fact demonstrated a belongs to the problem mode of Hermeneutics' tasks.The express of Hermeneutics as Practical Philosophy on Truth and Method was Gadamer's attention for applied problem of comprehension. Applied problem of understanding first performance in understanding itself was a kind of application. Gadamer was through model meaning of Legal Hermeneutics and Hermeneutic of Theology illustrates this point, similarly, the ancient Philology Hermeneutics also always included the application components. Application of understanding still behave in understanding itself was a language application process, the relationship between language and the world like the relationship between copy and the prototypes, just like the function as copy make the prototype to performance and continue to exist, language also has the function as made the world to performance and continue to exist. So. Gadamer not only make Linguistically as the provisions of Henneneutics' objects, as the rules of Hermeneutics' process, but also make Linguistically as provisions of understand mode of Hermeneutics.Truth and Method was published. Gadamer was headed to the broader Practical Philosophy domain, its deep-seated reason on the hand was effort for Humanities to seek independence and legitimacy, on the other hand was tried to get rid of the trend of its understand theory's relativism and objectivism. For the later period of Gadamer make Henneneutics thinking to about the problems of social life, in the practical dimension of Hermeneutics and Hermeneutics' dimension of Practical Philosophy reclassify practical and theoretical concept relations, thought practice not only actual application of theory, theory also not theory from practice. Hermeneutics as Practical Philosophy pursuit of a unified of theory and the practical tasks. Similarly, with scientific and technological rational of modern and rational of instrument have expanded, practical rationality in the guiding role of human social life replaced by them, humans lost free life status, the whole society into technology rule, at this time was urgent need to restore the true colors of practical rationality, emphasizes Practical Philosophy of practical rational was the guidance of human right life.Gadamer's Practical Philosophy was had develop a dialogue community with goal of friendship and good as the ultimate ideal, dialog spirit was not only eliminate strained relations between Natural Science and Humanities, the powerful weapon of ease Science and Social conflict, the more important was a reasonable ideal of human future development. Gadamer was attempted through the theoretical construction for our future found a reasonable way, Habennas and Gadamer were at the same time and produced fierce debate, he believed human future development way lies in a "Communication Community", it seems with Gadamer's efforts at the same path, in fact,through the compared and analyzed on them theory, the two sides emphasized dialogue and exchanges have different angles, and both sides theory can achieve complement each other.
