The Concept of 'Prejudice' in Gadamer's Philosophical and Its Implications

This article aims at investigating and clarifying Hans-Georg Gadamer's concept of prejudice (and also of pre-understanding) and some implications of it. According to Gadamer,our concept of prejudice —as is today— is constituted by the Enlightenment thought. This concept is both an ill-founded and an ill-functioning concept. Gadamer thinks that he rehabilitates it. Here, the nature of Gadamer's rehabilitation process is examined and clarified;furthermore, some important points are proposed as the conclusions that may be drawn from Gadamer's process.
