The Philosophical Hermeneutics by Hans-Georg Gadamer and the Change of the Educational Conception in China

German-born Gadamer is best known for his magnum opus in the area of philosophical hermeneutics, Truth and Method. Through the realization of the alteration from the comprehension means to comprehension ontology, Gadamer's conceptions of understanding and interpretation, the hermeneutical and theological ideas that shaped Gadamer's philosophical development, these make it clear that while philosophical hermeneutics is unthinkable outside the context of fundamental ontology. There is, moreover, an unmistakable normative thrust to Gadamer's notions of interpretive openness and the fusion of horizons, while when we reflect the existing educational modes in China, we strongly believe that there must be some breakthroughs in Chinese educational conceptions.
