Phenomena of reading and hearing were one of the fundamental themes of philosophical hermeneutics Gadamer’s during the past decades of his life and scientific work. This assertion seems to be strange. Especially if we pay attention to the fact that just in this time he worked at transforming his initial project of philosophical hermeneutics into the more ambitious hermeneutical philosophy. However, universality of phenomena of reading and hearing, which Gadamer defends in his last works, not only confirms but also concretizes universality of language dimension of all human experience. This concretization becomes apparent by explicating structural correlation between hearing, understanding, and seeing. In view of this circumstance emerges necessity of looking at history of “phenomenological movement” through the prism of phenomenon of reading, which from the very outset was the implicit aim of phenomenological explications.
