Text interpretation: hermeneutic approach
The hermeneutic model of text interpretation is stated, which is based on the principle of “hermeneutic spiral” by F. Schleiermacher. Hermeneutics as a method of interpreting historical facts on the basis of philological data and as a science of understanding the meaning is considered to be a universal principle for interpreting literature. The purpose of this article is to study the role of the hermeneutic model in the interpretation of texts of artistic culture, where the interpretation of the text is determined by the author's value system and one’s ethical choice. An example of the interpretation of D. London's work “The Call of the Wild” within the framework of the hermeneutic model is given.
