| Hermeneutics: Hermeneutics is the theory and practice of interpretation, especially the interpretation of texts. Hermeneutics is concerned with the question of how we understand meaning. It is based on the idea that meaning is not fixed or objective, but rather is created through a process of interpretation. This means that the interpreter's own background and experiences will play a role in shaping their understanding of the text. See also Interpretation, Texts, Hermeneutc circle._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Michel Foucault on Hermeneutics - Dictionary of Arguments
I 56ff Def Hermeneutics/Foucault: We call it the totality of knowledge and techniques that allow to let the signs speak and discover their meaning. >Signs, >Meaning, >Knowledge. I 56ff Def Semiology/Foucault: allows to distinguish where signs are, what they instituted as signs, their connections and laws of their concatenation. The 16th century has stored semiology and hermeneutics one above the other in the form of similarity. I 60 There is a "notch" between the similarities that the characters, which form the speech, form and expand, so the thought and its infinite effort is given exactly there its own space: at that distance, they will have to draw their lines in an unlimited zigzag between the similar and the similar to them. >Similarity, >Comparison, >Comparability._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
