Interpretacijos Teorija by Paul Ricœur

Discourse and the Surplus of Meaning

This philosophical work delves into the intricate processes of interpretation and understanding, exploring how humans derive meaning from texts and symbols. It examines the dynamic interplay between the reader and the text, emphasizing the role of context, preconceptions, and cultural influences in shaping interpretation. The book also discusses the hermeneutic circle, where understanding is seen as a continuous, evolving process, and highlights the importance of dialogue and openness to multiple perspectives in the quest for deeper comprehension.
