UN ASPECT AL UNEI HERMENEUTICI INTEGRALE: CONFIRMAREA SENSULUI (CU ILUSTRĂRI DIN PLATON ŞI SADOVEANU)
One Aspect of Integral Hermeneutics: The Confirmation of Meaning. Plato and Sadoveanu

Summary/Abstract: In this article, our aim is to discuss the concept of “confirmation of meaning”, which is part of a personal project on integral hermeneutics. After presenting an outline of my project on hermeneutics (based on the interpretative theories of some great thinkers such as John Dewey, R.G. Collingwood and Eugenio Coşeriu), in connection with a previous “universal hermeneutics” as well, we shall try to highlight the importance of the concept of “confirmation of meaning” by resorting to examples from Plato’s and Mihail Sadoveanu’s works. At the same time, we shall also try to demonstrate the usefulness of integral hermeneutics by applying it to the analysis of the novel Baltagul (The Hatchet) by Mihail Sadoveanu.
