The Late Discovery of Schelling in Hermeneutics

This article does not pretend to give a full exposal of declared thesis, but rather points out a number of facts that testify the influence of Schelling's philosophy (of the period of “positive philosophy and philosophy of revelation”) on the formation of hermeneutics in the person of Heidegger and Gadamer. This is where Gronden indicates the relation between the concept of “non-preconcievable” of Schelling and the concept of “self-” of Heidegger; with the help of this relation Gadamer, as noted by Gronden, connects Heidegger's hermeneutics of facticity and Schelling's “philosophy of revelation”, which allowed him to give ontological character to the concept of language.
