On the relation between hermeneutics and neuropsychology
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2010, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Comprehension as such appeared as the object of research in the 19th century, and has become the basic object of interest in hermeneutics – originally the art or science of understanding texts, more recently a theory of understanding life, and in psychological terms, the comprehension of human life. If we take as the starting point for investigation the concrete situation of the other person, as one must do in psychology, then at the very outset of cognition there appear two processes: explanation and comprehension.
