In "Truth and Method", he introduces three different of understanding; 1. Understanding as theoretical knowledge, 2.Understanding as practical knowledge, and 3. Understanding as agreement.The connector element of these three is another meaning of understanding which Gadamer refers to it as understanding as application. The first two meanings had been explained by preceding thinkers; Then Gadamer's initiative theory on understanding is the third meaning which is in close connection with fourth meaning i.e. understanding as application. Applicable aspect of understanding emphasizes on situatedness of interpreter and problem orientedness of understanding. One of the most outstanding differences between Gadamer's Hermenutics and romantic Hermeneutics is his belief in impartibility of understanding, interpretation and application.      UR - https://jop.ut.ac.ir/article_35878.html L1 - https://jop.ut.ac.ir/article_35878_672d1c925f9585c84b649109fec40d5a.pdf ER -
