Abstract
Assumptions, which are the same as knowledge, experience, and human biography from the past to the present, are one of the main pillars of Gadamer hermeneutics. In general, the elements and key words of Gadamerke's philosophical hermeneutics are the same as understanding; The nature and phenomenology of understanding instead of epistemology, the methodical nature of understanding, the event and occurrence of understanding, historicity, temporality, language, productivity, not reproduction, presuppositions, applicability and application of understanding, horizon and agreement, relativity of understanding ( Includes semantic pluralism, play, dialogue, dialectics, the act of anticipation, distance of understanding, and degree of openness. Following Heidegger, Gadamer considers understanding to be the fundamental state of Dasein (human existence). And instead of the subject-object duality, it introduces the subject-subject schema. Because Gadamer believes that categories such as understanding, man, history, and the humanities in general cannot be compared and discovered with the Cartesian method of object-object in the natural sciences, but because the humanities are different from the natural sciences, that is, fluid. And non-framing - so the usual method used in the natural sciences cannot be used in the humanities, because it is essentially ineffective, but the dialectical ambiguity must be applied to the event of understanding. Also, according to Gadamer, presuppositions that play a colorful role in everyday life should be understood and communicated through dialectical dialogue so that we do not suffer from hasty judgments and prejudices.
