Abstract: The is a brief study of Hans-Georg Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics.Since the publication of Martin Heidegger's Sein und Zeit in 1927,the hermeneutics are 'distinguished between traditional or methodological and radical or ontological hermeneutics. Based on early Heidergger's work, Gadamer interprets comprehension in ontological terms as one of the components of Dasein .It traces back to Plato's dialogue, and applies" Hegel's dialectics. Further, Gadamer develops his philosophical hermeneutics, which has a tremendous impact on contemporary philosophy and literature. Most commentators on Gadamer's work,however, separate his work on Plato from his work on hermeneutics. This essay attempts to show that Gadamer's hermeneutics discloses itself in its most distinctive contours only in the light of his work on Plato. In going back to Plato,Gadamer tells us, that any true conversations do not proceed geometrico,Instead, we move back and forth, and it manifests the limitedness of all human knowing. Thus, hermeneutics is concerned not with the justification of interpretive understanding as knowledge or science, but rather it deals with different matters altogether.
