This essay tries to explore philosophically the etymology of the term hermeneutics (Hermeneutik), hermeneuein. Firstly, from the three Greek roots of the word we can research its basic implications, i.e. expression, interpretation and translation. This approach rediscovers the activity of understanding as a whole process of language-understanding, and helps to reintegrate the original relationship of author, text and reader. Secondly, these results would lead us to survey the initial network of connections between thinking, being, language, action etc., which are the fundamental dimensions of the traditional philosophy. This could also imply that the hermeneutical philosophizing can guide a way out of the problem-complex of the fundamental dimensions in the traditional philosophizing. Thirdly, through this research, the Text-understanding as the core experience and phenomenon of hermeneutics could be reached. From this, the ground-presuppositions of hermeneutics would develop: from historicality to contextuality, from linguisticality to textuality, from openness to matter-of-factness to the interrelationality and interactivity. Finally there are further presuppositions of hermeneutics awaiting for exposition: from the In-der-Welt-sein to the person in context, from the language as medium of thinking and being to the text as mediation of spirit and material, from the openness to the other to the interrelationship of the interpersonality and intertextuality of intercontextuality. |
