论“诠释学循环”问题的发展历程

On Developing Process of "Hermeneutic Circle"

“诠释学循环”问题一直是诠释学的中心议题之一。以现在的视角来看,它实际上包含了三种关系:一是被理解对象内部的整体与部分的关系;二是被理解对象与其背后的语言文化背景(包括作者本人的语言、风格、特殊精神和思想)之间的关系;三是理解者的先见与理解者的整个理解活动的关系。这三种关系一方面是随着诠释学本身的历史发展而逐次被认识发现的,另一方面它们又促进着诠释学的发展。可以这样说,对这一问题的关注,从某种程度上给诠释学的发展指明了方向。

The issue of the hermeneutic circle is always one of the center subjects of the hermeneutics.In the present perspective,it includes three kinds of relations in reality.One is the relation of the whole and the part in the inner side of object;another is the object and its linguistic and cultural background(including the author's language,style,special spirit and thought);the third is the relation of the former comprehension of the comprehender and the whole process of the comprehension.On the one hand,these three kinds of relations have been gradually discovered with the development of the hermeneutics.On the other hand,they have also promoted the development of the hermeneutics.It can be said that the concern of the problem has indicated the direction of the development of the hermeneutics to some extent.
