Hermeneutics and perspectivism: Nietzsche's and Gadamer's concepts of horizon

This paper analyses certain points of a relationship between Nietzschean perspectivism and Gadamerian philosophical hermeneutics. The central concept in this analysis is the concept of horizon, which appears in Nietzsche's second Untimely Meditations - On the Use and Abuse of History for Life and Gadamer's principal work Truth and Method. Both concepts, Nietzschean and Gadamerian, constitute an analogy represented by using common language, yet lead to different concepts of history, tradition, and interpretation. In perspectivism, the horizons continue to be separated, while philosophical hermeneutics affirms the 'fusion' of horizons.
