Product description

The author appeared as usual lively, but this time he was more lively, because the judgments of the subject compelled him to do so, and it seems that the process of jumping over the strings in this book was very effective. The transitions between the topics contributed to the birth of integrated visions about the subject of hermeneutics. We notice the coherence and mutual support between the three chapters of the book, and how they contributed to the process of interrogating the texts and drawing them in building the internal system of the book. We learned what the book carried within its folds contributed to establishing this conviction. We notice that the author defined (interpretation) linguistically and terminologically, and tried to explore the concept of (interpretation) as a Western phenomenon present in their culture, and sought to root it in the Greek era. He emphasized that (interpretation) in its semantic concept in Greek philosophical thought was concerned with activities as interpretation and explanation of specific texts. In Stoicism, it took the form of allegorical reading. Also, hermeneutics took a new aspect in this book, which is the deep intentions of the authors. Thus, hermeneutics is (art) in the technical and practical sense of linguistic, logical, pictorial, utilitarian, and symbolic mechanisms and means. The author sees that art is inseparable from teleology. Revealing the truth is something, and therefore hermeneutics is the art of (interpretation). One of the most important functions of interpretation is to clarify obscure and incomprehensible passages in texts, because clear and obvious meaning does not need interpretation.
