| Sumario: | The language of the present is, for Gadamer, always the only language of understanding. This does not imply the subordination of concepts of the past to those of the present, for it is a two-sided blending. Historical thinking always contains already a mediation between those concepts and our own thinking. When languages merge in that mediation nothing remains as it was. Something happens to both, and that happening —in itself historical— is historical understanding. Being conscious of the historicity of all interpretation, means that our present conscience constitutes itself from a given history of transmission, i.e., it was “effected” by history. The work investigates the determinations of this conscience of “effectual history” (Wirkungsgeschichte) as the most unmistakably philosophical expression of our own finitude. A recognition of human limitation, which far from becoming a paralysis of reflection, actually makes it possible. |
