Summary
Hermeneutics is the practice of an interpretation or the original dissemination of a message or announcement, especially with regard to man’s relation to being (SZ 37–38; GA12:115, 119/OWL 29, 32–33; GA63:14). Going back to the lexical meaning of the Greek word hermêneuein (to make known, announce, communicate, disseminate, interpret), Heidegger holds that this practice is directed in the first instance at the things and people we encounter in the world.
