The aim of the article is to apply the concept of the hermeneutical circle to the position of a sociologist. The hermeneutical problem in sociology is exemplified by research into social action that examines how sociological understanding captures meanings attributed to the action by the actors themselves. Although several distinguished theorists have already introduced the idea of hermeneutics into sociology, none of them pursued the topic of the hermeneutical circle in detail. This article applies the hermeneutical circle to sociology through the concepts of ‘pre-understanding’ and the ‘fusion of horizons’. The analysis results in the acknowledgement of epistemological pluralism in sociology and leads to the conclusion that the justification of truth in sociology cannot be simply a matter of correspondence-based verification, but must involve a form of decision-making about true knowledge within an intersubjective sociological rationality.

The article investigates the possibility of broadening Gadamer’s hermeneutical theory of the interpretation of a text also on the theory of the interpretation of human action. As a model for the development of hermeneutical inquiries, the author uses the theme of a understanding sociology. The successive parts of the article are aimed at analysing the conception of a understanding social action in Max Weber; at the subsequent critique and phenomenological development of this conception in the sociological theory of action of Alfred Schütz; and finally, and above all, at a differentiated inquiry into the problem of understanding the action of the other whose sociological treatment is, in the article, related to the more fundamental philosophical conception of understanding, as it was presented in Gadamer’s hermeneutics. The study, as a whole, shows not only that Gadamer’s concepts of horizon, the merging of horizons, and the hermeneutical situation may be meaningfully related to the question of the interpretation of human action, but also that new perspectives of inquiry may be opened up for sociological and philosophical theories of action.
