The problem of time has always been favored by philosophers. From Aristotle to Heidegger, they had discussed the mysterious issues thoroughly. Throughout the viewpoint of the problem of time, there was a leap in understanding of time. At the beginning, people wanted to know what time is. After then, people wanted to know where the time is from. The change reflected a transform of the way which is exploring the problem of time. The emergence of this approach is not only to explore the role of time in people's understanding, to a large extent, but also to affect the thought of Gadamer.Gadamer is a representative figure of the philosophy of hermeneutic. "Truth and Method" is a book which opens the door to the trend of philosophical hermeneutics. Traditional hermeneutics and Heidegger's temporality all affected Gadamer's thought. Traditional hermeneutics is the basic of the thought of Gadamer and the manner of the problem of temporality is an important power to Gadamer. For Gadamer, his thought of the philosophy of hermeneutic inherited the soul of the traditional hermeneutics and Heidegger's temporality. On the one hand, with the help of the thought of Heidegger's temporality, Gadamer made the traditional hermeneutics get ride of the morass. On the other hand, Gadamer made the philosophy of hermeneutics reach its summit and form a temporality of philosophical hermeneutics.The author attempts to clarify three basic questions which are based on relevant date, such as the development process of the concept of time, Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics and so on.First, from time to temporality is a special way of exploring the meaning of time. It provides the conditions to help the traditional hermeneutics to get ride of morass.Translation and understanding is the source of hermeneutics. It has a large development of hermeneutics by the activities of explanation. But the hermeneutics had gone into the dilemmatic place because of the confines of the way of thinking. However, the manner which is from time to temporality provides a range of new ideas to help the traditional hermeneutics.Second, with the help of temporality, Gadamer developed his thought of hermeneutics. First of all, understanding is the foundation of hermeneutics. Gadamer inherited Heidegger's ontological thought and discussed the problem that how can the understanding come true. It is not only making the understanding expand itself but also to consolidate the understanding of ontological status. Secondly, the hermeneutic circle is a basic theory of hermeneutics. Gadamer used the theory of temporality to make the hermeneutic circle perfect. So, readers may get the positive meaning about the distance of time. Thirdly, Interpretation Experiences are the main content. With the help of the vision of temporality, Gadamer analyze the artistic experience, historical experience and language experience.Third, the author tries to reveal the way of getting to temporality, in order to explore the important meaning of philosophical hermeneutics. Husserl and Heidegger are the fathers of temporality. Gadamer inherited their thoughts and inaugurated his new system of hermeneutics. Meanwhile, he also made the theory of temporality have large development.
