Abstract
The broader meaning of hermeneutics is presented, a meaning that cannot be reduced to the method of scientific research. It is assumed that the basis of hermeneutical rationality is the human way of life, which is characterized not by total self-control, but by a clear interweaving of unconscious and conscious processes. In this context, the thesis that the hermeneutical procedure is inextricably linked with social life, verbal communication, and the cognitive-emotional-volitional receptivity of others is explained. In addition, it is proved that the hermeneutical power of language is the basis of every stable and functional community, and long-term psychosocial integration and coexistence cannot be achieved by the opposite means, that is, through violence.
Highlights
In this paper, I will postulate that hermeneutic rationality, as its essential characteristic, includes community life, communicative interaction and relations with other persons
If bearing in mind that hermeneutics is the skill of understanding and interpreting, and that every understanding is carried out in some natural language, the language which is spoken and lived in, it could be said that hermeneutic experience is always intersubjective activity, that it is based on the exchange within a certain community of subjects
Hermeneutics cannot be reduced to a mere method of scientific or philosophical knowledge, because it is a collection of rules for the successful interpretation of texts or historic events, but, there is a human way of life at its base, that is, understanding treatment of reality
Summary
I will postulate that hermeneutic rationality, as its essential characteristic, includes community life, communicative interaction and relations with other persons. Bearing in mind a possible counterargument that community life contains hermeneutic benevolence, understanding and agreements, and conflicts and misunderstandings, I will pay special attention to the explanation of ambivalent aspects of hermeneutic experience, demonstrating that its essence is not in nonconflicting acceptance of that which is close and understandable to us, but in resolving conflicts, in approaching that which seems strange and irrational to us In this way, I will strive to prove that hermeneutic character of community is reflected in the skill of living together, which includes the power to turn the absurdity of social life into a communicative sense. In the conclusion of the paper, I will draw the most important conclusions which arise from the conducted interpretations and analyses
