Hermeneutics

hermeneuticsI am presently taking a class on philosophical hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is the science of interpretation. The term is often applied to the interpretation of the Bible, but it actually has a broader scope of interpreting all of reality. Here are some of the texts we are reading in this class.

Genesis, Luke and Acts

Cratylus by Plato

7th Letter by Plato

On Interpretaion by Aristotle

On Cristian Doctrine by Augustine

Truth and Method by Hans Georg Gadamer

Interpretation Theory by Paul Ricoeur
