This paper gathers two subjects that are used to be presented as separated and asso-ciated with different knowledge: scientific knowledge, related to the natural-facts sciences and the epistemological analysis of themselves; and the interpretation related to the phenomenological reflection and the ontology knowledge developed by the hermeneutic philosophy. It is intended to explain a possible way of approa-ching both subjects and taking as central theme of enquiry; on one hand the logic of the scientific experience treated by Karl Popper as logic of research and on the other hand the hermeneutical structure of the experience developed by Hans G. Gadamer in his work Truth and Method. The paper pretends to think the scientific knowledge from a wider perspective than the rigorously methodological one, providing that the adjective “scientific” is seen as a further modality of interpretation in general know-ledge before the essential feature (universal) of any world experience.
