Abstract
Language means something other than what it says, it is blurred, not explicit. In the field of language, another meaning conceals itself within the obvious meaning of discourse. Naming this double meaning region as a symbol, Ricoeur sees metaphor as a transitional stage to symbol in terms of creating double meaning. He determines interpretation as a thought activity that grasps this double meaning in the symbol and decodes these plural meanings. He defines hermeneutics as a method for grasping the ambiguity of meaning, diversity of meaning, and abundance of meaning in the symbol. In this context, the aim of this study is to reveal how the symbol hermeneutics emerges by explaining the relationship between symbol and interpretation, symbol and meaning and symbol and metaphor.
