The 20th Century, while offering rich and prodigious foundations for hermeneutics, left us with much work to be done. Among the things to be done, an essential task required is to establish new approaches to the relationship between ontology and hermeneutics. In light of this need, the central objective of this work is to analyze and understand three related elements. Firstly, we must ask what sort of relation hermeneutics already has with ontology? To answer this, the author offers evidence of the several attempts made by Gadamer, Ricoeur, and Gilbert to establish a relation between hermeneutics and ontology. Secondly, the question is how to productively apply an analogical hermeneutics to ontology? Finally, as a third element we ask if it is necessary to propose anew and reconstruct an ontology distinct from that which existed during the modern era? At the end of these considerations the author presents conclusions which refer substantially to 1) the construction of a new hermeneutic ontology; 2) to its unity and central foundations; 3) to the intercrossing and regional ontologies, and 4) to the new analogical potentiality.

Keywords : ontology; hermeneutics of being; the new hermeneutic ontology; ontology of itself; the unity of ontological hermeneutics; analogical hermeneutics.
