The aim of this paper is to present the steps of Gadamer´s reform of Dilthey's hermeneutic (developed under the modern concept of life experience, which was taken to be the grounding/basis of historical self-conscience) and to expose the new concepts of reason and human existence within Gadamer's theory, when he introduced the concept of finitude to the concept of human life experience.
