하이데거의 해석학을 통한 가다머의 예술론

Abstract

This paper pursues to think about Gadamer’s thinking on Art through Heidegger’s Hermeneutics. Experience on Beauty was chosen for the purpose of good explanation, and we could finally discover how Gadamer elaborated Heidegger’s hermeneutics and his thinking on Art.
 At first, hermeneutics was originally a skill of interpretation, but it became a methodology of Geisteswissenschaft by Dilthey. After that Heidegger changed hermeneutics as methodology into onology as a methaphysics, and Gadamer was successive to Heidegger’s hermeneutics and elaborated it.
 According to Gadamer, art is a field of truth that Being is revealed in Heidegger’s sense. Experience on Beauty is to discover Selbst itself in the event of Being-Aletheia, and it is a fusion of horizons(Horizontverschmelzung) in Gadamer’s philosophical vocabularies. So art is like Game(Spiel) because peoples in art rely on art itself as players should obey to game. But art expresses itself only by way of peoples in art who make art created. it is called Mimesis according to Gadamer because art is representation of Being-Truth, not just copy of actual thing.
 To conclude, art is to meet Selbst itself in the experience on beauty, and this experience is a fusion of horizons in the basis of Being-Truth according to Gadamer. So he defines that art is to be Game and Mimesis.
