Abstract

In the present essay we want to clarify through philosophical hermeneutics the relationship that can exist between hermeneutics and nature, to answer the question: is it possible to interpret nature hermeneutically? Man's relationship with nature has been one of chaos and harmony, of dominance and submission. It is evident that nature does not need us, but we do need it. Consequently, the present essay will be broken down into four parts: In the first section, we will address the Gadamerian proposal of awareness of effective history, in the second section, the relationship between the art of asking and the art of understanding that Gadamer called hermeneutical experience will be exposed, in the third section, he will develop the Gadamerian proposal of a dialectical logic, to finish in the last section, I will try to connect Gadamerian understanding with nature and its ecological importance.
