Hermeneutics is often mistakenly reduced to a mere auxiliary tool for theology and philology; however, this text argues it is an extensive philosophical discipline integral to understanding the nature of language and the word. Drawing a parallel with sensory perception, which provides data on how we react to reality rather than reality itself, the author posits that listening or reading cannot directly convey the inherent sense of a statement. Consequently, hermeneutics serves as a theory of how "sense" is communicated between individuals. Beyond intentional speech or writing, the discipline encompasses the interpretation of all reality as something informative or communicative, even in the absence of a specific communicative intent. This broader perspective places any reality within a world of meanings and logical contexts, where everything can be seen as "narrating" or "speaking," a concept reflected in biblical imagery. Ultimately, hermeneutics is defined as a fundamental inquiry into how meaning is constructed and shared within the human world.
