La question du « sujet » dans l’herméneutique gadamérienne

Abstract

Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics presents itselfs as an attempt to liberate the question of the truth in which the modern concept of method should have it confined. So Gadamer analyses experiences (art, history, language) whose extent can’t be reduced to the primacy of selfconsciousness. So the critic of modern method by hermeneutics is at the same time the critic of its foundation, that is to say of the subjectivity, of the certainty of selfsconsciousness. The intention of this study is to bring foreward the coherence and the unity of Gadamer’s diverses remarks about what comes after subjectivity : the question of « subject » becomes the one of the « subject » as a question.
