The main question of this article is the relationship between H.G. Gadamers philosophical hermeneutics and the political powerty. My claim here, based upon Gadamers, philosophical approach, is that there is always in all era a reciprocal relation between knowledge and political powerty. Therefore, contray to Rortys claim that pluralism and democracy are the only political systems that needn't any epistemic explanation, i claim that all political systems even democracy require the epistemic
foundations. Thus, we must provide the appropriate epistemic grounds for them.
