GIMENEZ, José Antonio. LA DIALÉCTICA PLATÓNICA COMO MODELO DE LA EXPERIENCIA HERMENÉUTICA EN LA FILOSOFÍA DE GADAMER. Rev. filos. [online]. 2010, vol.66, pp. 63-77. ISSN 0718-4360.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-43602010000100004.

Gadamer 's evolutionary and unitary interpretation of Plato s writings assumes a rather particular understanding of the 'question-and-answer form' (characteristic of Plato's dialogues). This work intends to show the radicalism of Gadamer's views about the Platonic dialectic, as well as the essential connection between that structure and the central phenomenon ofhermeneutics, i.e. the phenomenon of comprehending (Verste-hen). In this way, both elements are shown to depend on each other, as Hermeneutic philosophy recognizes itself through the realization of the Platonic dialogue.

Keywords : hermeneutics; understanding; experience; dialogue; question and answer form; self-awareness.
