SCIVOLETTO, Gonzalo. Apel and Gadamer’s Philosophical Hermeneutics. arete [online]. 2018, vol.30, n.2, pp.333-355. ISSN 1016-913X.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18800/arete.201802.007.

This paper seeks to reconstruct the core of Apel’s criticism of Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics. In order to achieve this, three texts post-Transformation of Philosophy by Apel are analyzed. All of them go beyond the debate between hermeneutics and critique of ideology. Throughout the paper I will attempt to demonstrate that the concepts introduced by Apel offer the possibility of an enlightened or critical normative hermeneutics.

Keywords : comprehension; progress; understanding; Gadamer; Apel.
