Hermeneutic Circle and “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” Principle in Husserl and Heidegger

The article deals with the concepts of hermeneutic circle and “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle in Husserl and Heidegger. It examines the question, if an introduction of the concept of hermeneutic circle in Heidegger is to be treated as an abandon of the “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle in phenomenology or hermeneutic circle and “Voraussetzungslosigkeit” principle somehow coexist in Husserl's and Heidegger's methodological refl ections.
