解释学循环的解释——伽达默尔《文本与阐释》的启示

文学文本作为既定之物自身要求着被理解,语言既开启文学文本的存在又形成对文学文本的遮蔽。解释者通过语言这个中介介入文学文本,与之形成交流和对话,在复原其原初意义的同时也在创造着新的意义,显现文学文本作为一个意义统一体的存在。正是语言的这种既遮蔽又自我显示的特点,决定了对文学文本的理解最终要通过解释学循环的原则达到视界的融合,求得真正的理解。

Interpretation of Hermeneutic Cycle——Inspirations from Gadamer's Texts and Interpretations

Literary texts,given their material existence,call for interpretations.Language initiates the forming of literary texts and casts shadows over them as well.The interpreter approaches literary texts through the medium of language and communicates or dialogues with them.While trying to trace back to the original meaning,the interpreter also creates new meaning out of the texts as proof for them as a unity of meaning.This nature of language to shadow and present determines the ultimate understanding of texts is only achieved with the integration of visions through the principles of hermeneutic cycle.
