Abstract
As a topic, fraternity occupies an important position in western philosophy. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Gadamer, etc. have all studied fraternity from different angles. In the history of Western classical thought, friendship is a highly political thing. At the same time, fraternity is also one of the important sources of western modern political system. In the Christian era, fraternity gradually changed from the relationship between "people" to the relationship between "people and God". However, fraternity was ignored and forgotten by modern western philosophy. As a representative of the development of Western hermeneutics, Gadamer not only founded philosophical hermeneutics, but also understood hermeneutics as a practical philosophy. We can trace back to Gadamer's time, war and strife, people lack the most basic trust and ineffective communication, and gradually fall into painful loneliness and self alienation. Therefore, Gadamer took fraternity as the research focus of his practical philosophy, and determined to restore the ancient Aristotle's fraternity ethics and rebuild the fraternity character.
