Istnienie dzieła sztuki a jego tożsamość hermeneutyczna według Hansa-Georga Gadamera

Abstrakt

The first part of the article attempts to reconstruct Gadamer’s ideas concerning auto – presentation as the ontological essence of a work of art. It also addresses the claim that relates art to the nature of truth. The second part of the article touches on the analysis of the autonomy of a work of art and connected with it – its hermeneutical identity. For Gadamer, this hermeneutical identity of the work of art is characterized by three main features: The first, and principal feature, is the consistency of a repetition of the same features of each presentation that is, the repetition of an established truth concerning reality. The second feature is the continuity of the presentation of the work of art in relation to the tradition of its interpretation. While the third feature contained within a work of art is its occasional character, that is, the specific reason for its origin and its purpose.
