Hombre, mundo y lenguaje en la ontología hermenéutica de Hans-Georg Gadamer
Abstract
In his masterwork, Truth and Method, Gadamer seeks to resolve the fracture between being and truth produced in Modernity by the primacy of self-consciousness and scientism. Gadamer finds in language (logos) the ultimate ground for the correspondence of finite human intellect and being, without being forced to return to the classical metaphysical assertion that held God as the foundation of the adaequatioreietintellectus. For Gadamer, in language man and world are inseparably intertwined. As a consequence, within logos every ontological difference disappears, dissolving the being of man into the infinite historical becoming of the real protagonist: language.
