Is Heidegger's Hermeneutics an Interpretation of Being of Dasein?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to argue that Heidegger’s understanding of hermeneutics is a way of Interpretation of Being of Dasein because he accepts that hermeneutics is ta philosophical movement in which thinker understands and interprets what the meaning of Being is. One has to read very carefully Heidegger’s major work of Being and Time to see what hermeneutics means. Heidegger thinks that all philosophers who dealt with hermeneutics misunderstand it. Philosophers from Plato to Husserl could not give the meaning to hermeneutics as what Heidegger’s understands. So Heidegger redefines and reconstructs the meaning of hermeneutics as he does for philosophy. So Heidegger redefines and reconstructs the meaning of hermeneutics as he made for philosophy. He believes that a new beginning of philosophy must be phenomenological hermeneutics. In this paper, I will try to explain how the meaning of hermeneutics changes in the western philosophy, to explore how Heidegger understands it and how he makes it as phenomenological movement of ontology.
