Investigating The Concept of Game According to Gadamer's Philosophical Hermeneutics and Exploring Its Implications in The Acquisition of Consciousness/Understanding

The present study is an attempt to investigate the concept of game according to Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics and its implications in the acquisition of consciousness/understanding as educational concepts. A descriptive، conceptual and comparative analysis methodology has been applied to meet this goal. The results proved that applying Gadamer’s game theory، and its follow-up (subsequent) Gadamerian dialog-i. e. dialog via the unbiased dialog game- is an appropriate method in facilitating learning. This can be a decisive step toward enhancing the learners’ consciousness،which isthe prerequisite of education through understanding، making sense of، translating، and interpreting the (con) text.
