Summary/Abstract: Hans-Georg Gadamer described his own philosophical style as the one that awakes in the other a question(ing). He mentioned as well „the forgotten hermeneutics of question(ing)” which demands – as one can assume – our close attention. In this article, the author outlines a possible reading of the hermeneutics of question(ing) putting into a question by asking what does the hermeneutics of question(ing) intrinsically mean? How are we to understand the very project of such hermeneutics? The author claims that the latter strongly relates to the hermeneutical ontology which consists in a participation in an interrogative movement of being. The conclusion is preceded by the typology of the hermeneutic of question(ing).
