Preferred term

critical hermeneutics  

Definition

  • Critical hermeneutics grows out of the hermeneutic phenomenology of Paul Ricoeur (1981; Thompson, 1981) and the depth hermeneutics of John Thompson (1990). Following Ricoeur, it decomposes interpretation into a dialectical process involving three interrelated, interdependent, mutually modifying phases or “moments”: a moment of social-historical analysis, a moment of formal analysis, and a moment of interpretation-reinterpretation in which the first two moments of analysis are brought together (see Phillips & Brown, 1993, for an empirical example).
