The article suggests a distinction between interpretation 1 (Interpretation) as a transcendental condition of understanding and interpretation 2 (Deutung) as a concrete modality of comprehension. The strength of interpretation 1 lies in its capacity to reveal a horizon into which specific propositions of interpretation 2 can sensibly be fit in. This horizon is a sort of preliminary transcendental condition that legitimates and regulates any interpretative act. To apply this vision to the political sphere leads to rethinking the category of public space, which appears as the ground on which it is possible to evaluate different policies and to distinguish between real political issues und mere administrative functions.

The eulogy of philosophy is the impossible and necessary praise of a discipline all at the same time,as modern philosophy is subject to a twofold condition of being detached from truth and not living without truth; needing and waiting for truth, without really wishing it. According to the Author who draws a global balance of his theory, philosophy is that action of the man searching for his measure in saying how things are but so as to allow the full manifestation of things ; and further on, in such a way that this manifestation engages responsibly in the respect and protection not only of the thing said but also of every other thing and every other speaker.
