The Concept of Harmony in Gadamerian Hermeneutical Reception of Kantian Philosophy

The paper is treating the theme of harmonical relationship between metaphisics and science in Kantian philosophy from the point of view of the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer. The philosophical work of Kant had such an influence on Gadamer that without exagerating we can talk about the Kantian turning point in Gadamerian hermeneutics. Grondin, a former student of Gadamer, is talking about Kantian turning point in the field of esthetics, but in reality Kantian turning point means much more than a mere change in the reception of the concept of judgement. It is a discovery of harmonical relationship between the beauty and the moral, between the reason and the sensitivity, between the modern sciences and the metaphysical tradion in the Kantian philosophy, made by Gadamer. This is what we call the Kantian turning point in Gadamerian hermeneutics.
