The common purpose of gadamer’s rehabilitation of practical philosophy and transjuridicity

Abstract

This research investigates two theoretical-academic phenomena, the rehabilitation of practical philosophy and phronesis by Gadamer and transjuridicity. Thus, taking into account the theoretical basis that transjuridicity already has, it will be investigated what Gadamer's rehabilitation of practical philosophy meant, in order to argue that both phenomena, each by its own means, have common purposes, one of them in particular, that of bringing scientific knowledge back into the world of life. It uses gadamerian hermeneutics as a methodology, although it approaches more a meaning of general character methodic, than a simple methodology, as it means, that the world itself and all the human experience are inserted in a linguistic circumscription of the being. So the discussions that gave rise to the tradition of practical philosophy and phrónesis with Plato and Aristotle are investigated, to later discuss in which terms Gadamer carries out a rehabilitation of this field of knowledge and consequently in which way this rehabilitation shares the purpose of Transjuridicity to return scientific knowledge to the world of life. All of the above ends up locating the phenomenon of law and the fields of its study in the context of a philosophy of finitude, as designated by Gadamer.
