Abstract
The article suggests a distinction between interpretation 1 (Interpretation) as a transcendental condition of understanding and interpretation 2 (Deutung) as a concrete modality of comprehension. The strength of interpretation 1 lies in its capacity to reveal a horizon into which specific propositions of interpretation 2 can sensibly be fit in. This horizon is a sort of preliminary transcendental condition that legitimates and regulates any interpretative act. To apply this vision to the political sphere leads to rethinking the category of public space, which appears as the ground on which it is possible to evaluate different policies and to distinguish between real political issues und mere administrative functions.
