The Essence Of Hermeneutic Science

The Essence of Hermeneutic Science.

Hermeneutic Science distinguishes itself from the scientistics such as that of Popper and at the same time stands
eminently rational and objective as it allows for agreement or 
disagreement between different individuals.

Also it does not seek causal explanations at all i.e. does not operate with the notions of explicandum and explicans. It investigates a phenomena, seeks to understand it in an illuminating manner and in that avoids seeking out causal explanations.

What it succeeds however is to disclose the structure of the phenomena so that now one SEES more clearly and also begin to see probably for the first time, things in the phenomena itself that were initially accessed only dimly or not at all.

The phenomena lights up so to speak and hermeneutic science is that intellectual activity that does this lighting up. And an investigator having thus lighted up the phenomena for
himself articulates this improved understanding of his through generating a meta-discourse so that another person can
have the same new and considerably better informed understanding as his that he now possesses.

Thus the new understanding gained becomes something another can agree or disagree with. Where agreement is reached, it can be assumed the understanding articulated through the metadiscourse is objective.

( The Tamils have perfected this hermeneutic science, in the name of Saiva Siddhanta, the culmination of which is in the magnificent Civajnaana Botham of Meykandar, beautifully translated into English,without losing the hermeneutic essence of it by Dr Loga in his 'The Metaphysica Universalis of Meykandar. )
