The concept of problem is a very important category of hermeneutics in Hans-Georg Gadamer's work "Truth and Method," in the list of the book he used a title"the priority of the qusetion in the hermeneutics" to remind his reader to pay attention to the concept.Gadamer reckon that" problem is not the kind to show itself and its significance can obtain the answer to the origin of the true model, what we can do is only to lose and can only be dealt with alternative choice by dialectics ."The function of problem is to make the hermeneutic experience possible, as Gadamer saying that "there is no problem, there is no hermeneutic experience." what is the function of the problem—that is a way of epoche, making those non-productive prejudice which impede the understanding do not make effect, thereby allowing the text to its original appearance in accordance with our head-to-head. Through aasking a problem the text has become a real subject, and reader actually played a role of audience in the listening with an open mind.in the issue of relations between the truth and problem , Gadamer reckon that" truth is to remove the cover (Unverborgenheit) so that to show to cover, which is apparent (Offenbarmachen)," while the problem or question is played a role to removed the cover,we must first mount on their own before they see - temporarily prevent them from taking effect, the dialogue so as to expose those who really wrong the former might see. As a result of the dialogue itself is an act to be sheltered, so readers in the process of dialogue with the text on the need to constantly ask questions to him in the history of the reader and the text to achieve the fusion of horizons. In this sense, here we can understand the problem as it really is the path to the entrance.we can see that a series of theories caused by the concept of problem both have agree voices and there is no lack of opposed opinion. For example, in the analysis of the intention sentence Davidson use the "charity principle" to a large extent which is similar to the good will Gadamer used in understanding- they all require an open attitude towards the views of others in order to seek maximum the consensus of the understanding.but deconstructist Derrida make a lot of criticism on Gadamer's' good will'In short,Problem not only plays an important role in hermeneutics, it is also an inexhaustible motivity for science and its development. When we make our horizon from the hermeneutics expanded to the whole scope of philosophy, we will find that 'the problem before the answer', 'problem is better than statement ',which is the spirit of the philosophy asked for.
