Abstract

[The chapter examines the importance of hermeneutics both as a method and a branch of philosophy, namely the one which is concerned with the principles and rules that ought to govern interpretation. It also presents a brief history of the concept of hermeneutics since its classical Greek inception through the tradition of the interpretation of biblical texts to the modern philosophers and their concern with a philosophical foundation for Aesthetics and History, not to mention Law. Thus, as a method of philosophy, borne out of Ancient Greek and Modern Philosophy, hermeneutics came to be broadly understood as a field interested in, among other things, the conditions of possibility of understanding and, as such, of the humanities and social sciences as sciences, following the later philosophy of Wilhelm Dilthey. ]
