Hermenéutica, comunicación y dialogía contra-colonial

Abstract

In opposition to the usual academic treatment of the hermeneutics as a mere option, as one more chapter in the History of the Philosophy, this study approaches the mentioned phenomenon as a new common language, as a new fundamental attitude, as a new way of being in the world in the same epistemological paradigms and ethical - political modern crisis. As a comprehensive apprehension of reality in its infinite plurality of senses, the hermeneutics thought is put in a dialogical perspective as a complex conception and transcultural expression of communication. Therefore, beyond a reflexive evaluation of its epistemological consequences, the hermeneutics steadies itself with all its ethical - political implications as a knowledge focused towards new projects of social resistance. In this sense, one chooses to value the liberating potential that a hermeneutics of postcolonial character or, rather, countercolonial, can contribute in the search of answers for the new sociocultural, political and cultural challenges that define our historical singular present.
