This essay tries to elucidate the relationship between art and knowledge in Gadamer's hermeneutics. It is divided into two parts. Firstly I analyze the arguments offered by Gadamer in his critique of traditional aesthetics which leads him to the conclusion that art is knowledge. Secondly I argue for the necessary connection of art and knowledge and then show the characteristics of knowledge in Gadamer. In the conclusion I point out that the Gadamerian concept of thinking is artistic in nature.
