Summary/Abstract: The article is a comment on Hans-Georg Gadamer’s concept of the work of art presented in his most significant work, Truth and Method. Gadamer’s view of the being of the artwork is consistently deduced from the broader context of the problem of truth in the humanities compared with truth in the natural sciences; and from the immanent positioning of the idea of aesthetic consciousness in the field of the humanities alongside historical, philosophical and hermeneutic consciousness, so that it attains the receptive-aesthetic interpretation of the artwork as playing that has gained an increase of being in terms of a “transformation into a figure”.
