Hermeneutics as a Theory of Interpretation and as a Literary Theory

The exploration of diverse theories of language and communication highlights the importance of interpretative tools in the Humanities. These frameworks, borrowed from various disciplines, facilitate in-depth analysis of literary works through inter-textual and interdisciplinary approaches. The paper emphasizes the need for thorough, analytical engagement at the tertiary level, contrasting it with simpler interpretations at lower educational stages. It advocates for a focus on raw textual analysis, addressing the preference for easier, society-based methods while promoting the rigor of scientific approaches to studying texts and language.
