Document from the year 2025 in the subject Philosophy - Theoretical (Realisation, Science, Logic, Language), , language: English, abstract: The present book aims at highlighting and discovering the world of interpreting theory, especially its most recent approaches. Moreover, the book aims at testing and investigating hermeneutics as a theory and methodology. It discusses hermeneutics theory, highlighting the main principles of hermeneutics and how it has transformed from its religious template into the secular paradigm of interpretation. Moreover, it traces the main principles of hermeneutical thinkers for an attempt to establish a full comprehensive literary hermeneutical approach. This approach is able to discuss and analyze the most recent modes of both literature and art. In addition, the book aims at linking religious hermeneutics to secular hermeneutics in order to cover all hermeneutical arenas. Bridging the gap between religious and secular hermeneutics will introduce an approach of understanding all human activities. Depending on the main characteristics of hermeneutics, the book will introduce a new reading and investigating of the theory in order to establish a middle ground between hermeneutics and literature. Based on the main principles of futurology, the book aims at establishing a vision for the future possibilities of hermeneutics theory through tracing and investigating the development of the theory.
