Abstract
FALQUE, EMMANUEL. Is Hermeneutics Fundamental?. Ideas y Valores [online]. 2013, vol.62, n.152, pp.199-223. ISSN 0120-0062.
ABSTRACT The article inquires into the basis of textual hermeneutics and what it means to apply it literally in philosophy and theology. Hermeneutics is fundamental if it is grounded in a mode of existence that is adequate to its purpose, so that it is better differentiated and clearly identified. The Protestant hermeneutics of the meaning of the text and the Jewish hermeneutics of the body of the letter are here replaced by a Catholic hermeneutics of the text of the body, in an attempt that is at least programmatic.
