The present work deals with two major knowledge areas: Philosophy and Law. It results from a study aimed at approximating Hans-Georg Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics and legal hermeneutics, and was focused on presenting some of the main concepts of Gadamerian hermeneutics and on discussing their possible application to interpreting the legal sphere. The theoretical approach, besides the very core philosophical perspective of Gadamer, involved a survey on authors that have developed analyses of Gadamerian assumptions. Additionally, the study sought to exemplify the application, showing a possible broadened reading of the concept of hermeneutic circle proposed by the author. It was verified that some of the core concepts in Gadamer’s philosophy – such as hermeneutic circle, tradition, temporal distance, historically effected consciousness and application, as a way of understanding – are applicable to legal hermeneutics, allowing a deeper and dialectic reflection on the area. Thus, it is a qualitative study of exploratory character whose methodological procedures started from a bibliographic survey including an effort to translate original texts.
