Possible and desirable identities in the Age of Communication based on Gadamer's Hermeneutics

The purpose of this research is to investigate possible and desirable identities In the age of communication, based on the philosophical hermeneutics of Hans Georg Gadamer. The methodology of this research is analytical-deductive and is a type of qualitative research. Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics is related to understanding, and understanding is based on elements such as tradition, history, linguistics, fusion of horizons, and the interactions between the "I" and "Thou" in an endless process. In the absence of any of the elements, as well as the control of "I" or "Thou", on the other, the process of human excellence is diminished. By imagining this situation for the identity issue, four types could be imagined, which are three possible identities and a desirable identity: restraint (self-consciousness) when a person is not aware of his own and "non" is dominant; an intruder (the identity of the suppressor) when the alignment and absence of "otherness" occur; Identity denotes the absence of both "I" and "Thou", but based on Gadamer's ideas, one can impose the fourth form of identification, which begins with self-understanding, with a misunderstanding and with an understanding.
