ABSTRACT

Other is important in Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics concerning language understanding. Self is always on the way to other, which is path of self-understanding or self-knowledge. From self to other is fundamental in any understanding. The female characters of The Nightingale undergo a process of ethical encounters and come to understanding eventually against the background of war.
