Description :

In this book, the author, a leading Muslim theologian, proposes an alternative model of texts and interpretative activities that proceed from an acknowledgement of their variety. Through an in-depth study of the variety of interpretive types and the works of Schleiermacher, Betti, Hirsch and Gadamer, the author elaborates an ‘Operational Hermeneutics’ that is able to overcome key aporiae in hermeneutic theory.

Contemporary hermeneutics is plagued by a set of 'knots' or aporiae. These aporiae consist of truth claims that contradict one another and which have arisen from the failure of contemporary 'General Hermeneutics' to attend with sufficient rigour to the variety of types of texts and interpretative activities.
