ABOUT INTUITION AND IMAGE IN HANS-GEORG GADAMER’S HERMENEUTICS

Summary/Abstract: The interpretation discusses some of Gadamer’s remarks about the relation between intuition and image, starting from the definition of the intuition as a representation of the imagination. Because the intuition gives something to see, that is an image of an absence which signifies without concept, it is a transcendental function of an unforeseeable. As for the image, it opens a perspective which does not show something, but guides the intuition towards that what is showing itself: the possible of its own world. Understood between the sign and the symbol, the image is an ontological process in which the being gives itself in a visible manifestation gifted with meaning.
