International Institute for Hermeneutics News

 


Hermeneutics is the art of interpreting. Although it began as a legal and theological methodology governing the application of civil law, canon law, and the interpretation of Scripture, it developed into a general theory of human understanding through the work of Friedrich Schleiermacher, Wilhelm Dilthey, Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Paul Ricoeur, and Jacques Derrida. Hermeneutics proved to be much bigger than theology or legal theory. The comprehension of any written text requires hermeneutics; reading a literary text is as much a hermeneutic act as interpreting law or Scripture.

Hermeneutical insights on digital intimacy: is live couple cam compatible with biblical principles?

20 June 2025

Digital intimacy captures how people build emotional and physical ties through online spaces. It spans from sincere video conversations between distant partners to more personal exchanges on platforms like , where couples reveal private moments virtually.

Listening Skills in a Foreign Language: Hermeneutics method

12 Jan 2024

Listening comprehension is increasingly portrayed as an active and interpretative language process in which listeners actively participate in forming meaning. Listeners who pay attention to spoken language do more than passively sample incoming messages; they are also said to be actively involved in predicting topic developments, using a series of definable listening strategies, and relating what they hear to their stores of prior knowledge. This theoretical understanding of the hearing process derives from the broad cognitive science framework and has been heavily affected by reading process research over the last 15 years. This explanation of listening sometimes contradicts many frequently held ideas about aural understanding.


Philosopher Wittgenstein and foreign language

5 June 2024

As per Wittgenstein's philosophy of language, language's impact on our cognitive processes and understanding of the world is essential. He was adamant that language not only serves as a means of articulating pre-existing concepts but also actively shapes and constructs our minds. Wittgenstein's concept of language games serves as an illustration of this. He argued that language is not a static and universally applicable set of regulations, but rather a collection of "language games" that are unique to different social interactions and circumstances. Every language game possesses its own set of regulations, interpretations, and applications.
