http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermeneutics
"In religious
studies and social
philosophy, hermeneutics (English
pronunciation: /hɜrməˈn(j)uːtɨks/)
is the study of the theory and practice of interpretation. Traditional hermeneuticswhich
includes Biblical hermeneuticsrefers
to the study of the interpretation of written texts, especially texts in the
areas of literature, religion and law. Contemporary, or modern,
hermeneutics encompasses not only issues involving the written text, but
everything in the interpretative process. This includes verbal and nonverbal
forms of communication as well as prior aspects that affect communication, such
as presuppositions, preunderstandings, the meaning
and philosophy of
language, and semiotics.[1] Philosophical
hermeneutics refers primarily to Hans-Georg Gadamer's theory of knowledge as developed in Truth
and Method, and sometimes to Paul
Ricoeur.[2] Hermeneutic
consistency refers
to analysis of texts for coherent explanation. A hermeneutic
double hermeneutic."
The English word HERMENEUTIC, meaning "interpretation,
concerning interpretation, esp. of the Bible or literary texts",
rearranged letter-by-letter as "HENI-TERCUME",
is an altered, restructured and Anglicized form of the Turkish expression "YENI
YERCÜME" meaning "new
interpretation", "new understanding" which
is exactly the meaning attributed to this so-called "English"
word. Clearly, it has been anagrammatized from the stolen Turkish
expression "YENI
YERCÜME"!
