 Habermas raises the objection against Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics that the hermeneutical experience of truth offers too little basis for such critique (see Habermas, “The Universality Claim of  Hermeneutics”).[10]  Habermas raises the objection that philosophical hermeneutics, with its adherence to the authority of tradition, leaves no room for the critique of ideologies entrenched in the historically transmitted prejudices on which our experience of truth relies. Moreover, as we might accordingly worry, what Gadamer describes as the hermeneutical experience of truth might not be an experience of truth at all, but, rather, a distorted communication that is complicit in ideology, since the so-called truth results from a conversation that might not be open, but oriented by prejudices that reinforce relations of domination.
