The main goal of this paper is to discuss the connection between Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics and environmental issues as a kind of eco-hermeneutics. In this sense, one seeks to discuss the contribution of Gadamer's ontological-practical thought in ecological terms as a branch of philosophy in which issues around the environment constitute a common point in the scope of human praxis. Pointing out the ecological crisis as an essential issue, Gadamer indicates a way to think about the constitution of the way of being in the world with others, situated on a current and increasingly degraded sphere of praxis. In essence, he offers an interpretative horizon to ecological questioning as an avenue through which to think about hermeneutical solidarity in terms of ecological solidarity and thereby provide a possibility of rehabilitating praxis from the shared environment.
