METHODOLOGICAL RUDIMENTS OF CULTUROLOGICAL HERMENEUTICS

Abstract

The interpretation, namely, the artistic interpretation, can be viewed as one of the integral cultureforming phenomena. As such it is worth of synthesizing inter-disciplinary and inter-methodological studying. Traditionally one of the dominant methodologies of researching the interpretative thematic was Hermeneutics. Undoubtedly, both methodological Hermeneutics of Schleiermacher and ontological Hermeneutics of Heidegger and his followers, have great potential. Still, the contemporary situation of active inter-cultural and intercivilization dialogue leads to the necessity of enriching the Hermeneutic with the results of compatible methodologies (Analytical psychology, Structuralism, Morphology of Culture etc). The general goal of maximal understanding not only of the text, but its widest cultural context, allows us to define such a “synthesizing” approach as the Culturological Hermeneutics.
