Hermeneutics

Technology is evolving at a rate that has never been experienced before, leading to both excitement and worrying in equal measure. However, it can be said that this pace of technological advancement is affecting societies’ ability to cope with the social and moral implications that come along with it. Furthermore, it begs the question; do these technologies have moral values built into them from the beginning? Do they influence a certain moral perspective on things? In this paper, we will…

Being close to God can be a form of relationship to others. According to Paul J. Contino, in his article, “Engagements, Illuminations, and Connections: Writing Out of Religious Experience and Tradition,” An encounter with and engagement of a hermeneutic of suspicion most often by way of thinkers like Nietzsche, Marx, and Freud can lead to a mature insight into and critique of the ways religion can sometimes take the distorted, idolatrous forms of resentment, economic oppression, or puerile fear…

Hermeneutic code is made up of three stages which enable the viewer to “interpret and follow a story” (O’Donnell, 2017, p. 84). The first stage is the enigma which asks a question or questions to engage the reader and to invest them in the plot. The enigma…

alternative. That form of interpretation is called paranoid reading. Eve Sedgwick begins the essay with a personal story of her casual experience with paranoid reading. Through that experience, Sedgwick illustrated the commonly unaware concept of the hermeneutics of suspicion. The concept focuses on recovering meanings that may or may not be hidden or repressed by their representations, or the surface of a text. Much like the respective forms of interpretation…

These concepts address, out of the many, the issues of interpretation, context, political resonance, hermeneutics and the role of the individual (Greene & Moore 2010, 276; Johnson 2002, 102-108). All of these eight basic concepts proposed by Johnson can be found to some extent in the work of Ian Hodder. His views are fluid and seem to always be on the cutting-edge…

Philosophic Foundation The origins and development of nursing philosophy began with the groundbreaking ideas and thinking of Florence Nightingale that provided the conceptualization of nursing, which has positively influenced the promotion of scholarly inquiry among numerous nursing theorists and others in the profession.

It is a qualitative, phenomenological and hermeneutic approach that explores how people make sense of their experiences and the meanings they attach to them in a particular context (Finlay, 2012; Larkin et al., 2006; Smith et al., 2013). The approach can be used to re-evaluate a specific phenomenon…

this is where hermeneutics comes into play, without using this principle of understanding law would never come about. Gadamer takes language to be, not some instrument by the means of which we are able to engage in a “world” but instead the very tool for this kind of engagement, and we use text as a way to give that language spoken authority in a “world”.
