Bibliography studies are studies that require constant updating. In Turkey, between 1980 and 2017, the acceleration of migration from the village to the city, the bringing of compulsory education, opening of many formal and private universities have caused enormous mobility of the scientific field and numerous researches on the field of tafsir as it is in every area. This situation has increased the number of copyright and translation works, so it has become necessary to identify these works. Here in this article, as a current contribution to the bibliography of tafsir, a list of the works of copyright and translation which was prepared and printed in Turkish between 1980-2017 is made. However, as a difficulty of bibliography studies, it is necessary to state that some of the works may have escaped the attention anyway.

Because the interpretation is basically a speaking with the text, so because the understanding and the interpretation are also done linguistically, Gadamer is seeing the language’s essence in the act of speaking. Every conversation supposes a common language, or in other terms, it creates a common language. Gadamer sees the word as defined by the being, namely that word which passes the truth in. In the “word”, as language’s basic form, goes on the truth and by that the word is the truth happening’s place. By Augustine’s belief, the original conversation or thinking is something from within, it is the language of the heart. This inner talk does not have material or amative form yet, it has only intellectual aspect, which here only means that it has not taken the amative or historical languages form yet. Platon calls the thinking the soul’s inner talking with itself. The structure of the conversation becomes obvious here. We call it conversation because it goes on like question and answer, because we ask ourselves just like we ask the others and we talk to ourselves as we say something to the others. Augustine already advert to this kind of speech. Everybody is somehow, a conversation with itself. Gadamer is saying that the conversation is on “art” in that hermeneutically meaning of word that the creation as happening is an expression.

Der Autor legt den Text von Mk 6,34–44 mit Hilfe des rezeptionskritischen Modells aus. Die rezeptionskritische Tetxtanalyse benutzt neue und alte hermeneutische Begriffe auf der Frontlinie der Schöpfung. Die leserorientierten Aspekte der Auslegung sind mit den historischkritischen Ergebnissen der Exegese verbunden. Die Vielfältigkeit der theologischen Fragestellung des Textes ist in Zusammenhang mit der Lebenssituation der Adressaten präsentiert. Dadurch ist zwischen den heutigen und den ersten Lesern/-Innen des Evangeliums ein aktiver Dialog zustandegekommen.

This paper provides a comprehensive and systematic inquiry on the central problem of contemporary philosophical hermeneutics, the question of understanding. The strain of thoughts starts by the critique of the methodological concept of understanding, as it was worked out in romantic hermeneutics and in social sciences. This is proceeded by a touch upon the approach of fundamental ontology, the Heideggerian concept of existential understanding. The study continues with a detailed exposition of the hermeneutical understanding-concept. This incorporates the scaling of hermeneutical experience as the nexus of negativity, openness, finitude and historicity, the connections of the hermeneutical situation and horizon, the development of the anticipatory- and question-structure of this experience. The study concludes with the presentation of understanding as a process of the tradition of questioning.

This paper, originally given in Groningen, the Netherlands, proposed a ‘material hermeneutics’, or, metaphorically, an interpretation which “lets things speak” via new scientific imaging technologies. Such a material hermeneutics would add to, perhaps often displace the usual linguistictextual hermeneutics so refined by Paul Ricoeur. I outline several examples of such a hermeneutics here based on some 40 or more years of technoscience experience.

The article examines the concept of “value” in the context of the general planetary process of anomie at the level of local cultures and subcultures, when the possibilities of value-normative regulation of social processes are reduced to a minimum. Under these conditions, the predictive function of axiology has become particularly relevant, and the authors raise the question of the basis for the values evolution reproduction. The search to this answer involves the application of system analysis and retrospection. The study of the main axiological concepts based on the connection between objective and subjective in this perspective allows to identify the main contours of value consciousness that coincide with the dominant concepts: biological (objective-naturalistic concept), social (dialectical-materialistic concept), individual (subjective-psychological concepts) and existential (objective-transcendental and ontological ideal realistic concepts). The material summarizes the main methodological and cognitive limitations of these concepts, which are in fact natural, since they belong to specific contours of value consciousness. At the same time, a number of provisions can be considered as general ones. As a result, the authors hypothesize the possibility to develop a synthetic concept of axiology allowing predicting the development of cultural value core as an imperative of socio-cultural processes.

Some israiliyyat reports in report hermeneutics caused negative claims about prophets to be propounded. In this article, it is claimed that although none of Prophet Adem's deeds was underlined, he committed a sin by giving his son the name of the devil. This article aims to contribute to understanding the verse by drawing attention to other interpretations after analysing the reports based on this comment.

At the beginning of this work the author presents the hypothesis that Muhammad Iqbal was the commentator of the Qur’an in a special, nontraditional way. Before proceeding to prove that hypothesis the paper briefly elaborates Ikbal’s attitude towards the Qur’an and presents some Iqbal’s views about the Qur’an. In the central part of the paper there are some citations from Iqbal’s poetry and prose that prove this hypothesis. Finally, the author presents his concluding thoughts.

In the Book of Revelation there are many symbols with broad meaning. The dragon is one of them. He is also one of the forms taken by Satan. This being represents a plenitude of malevolent forces opposing humans and God. The number of the dragon’s heads as well as horns and diadems is not accidental. They have their hidden meaning, not only emphasizing the might and aggression of the monster. They find their hidden meaning in the Old Testament as well. Although attributes indicate enormous strength, but at the same time they show weakness and finiteness in the creature in reference to God. The author of the Book of Revelation presenting the image of the dragon is inspired by the character of Leviathan, biblical beasts and monsters from other religious circles. At the same time, he creates his own image of a monster.

The aim of the article is to outline the main characteristics of the connection between Martin Heidegger’s thought and Aristotle’s philosophy. Heidegger finds in Aristotle’s texts the example of presence as the thinking of unconcealment. The structure of the argument between Aristotle and Antifon becomes the paradigm for the argumentative relation between the conceptions of Heidegger and René Descartes. Both the destiny of Being which has now been revealed via Cartesian philosophy and the possibility of the new thinking of Being is derived from the philosophy of Aristotle, to wit – from the twofold possibility of reading its structure. The new thinking of Being is linked precisely to the thinking of presence as unconcealment, which coincides with the eigentlich Being. The relation of Heideggerian-Aristotelian philosophy to the Cartesian paradigm is understood via the structure of the Greek distinction between alētheia and pseudos.

The globalized world is still in the phase of late capitalism, signified by the establishment of multinational corporations, globalized markets and work, mass consumerism and the fluid flow of capital. The question of the criticism of art towards the capitalist system, its ideology and consumerism is therefore still current and is readdressed in this contribution. Considering this issue, the recurrent theoretical reference is American materialist aesthetician Fredric Jameson, who was among the first to define culture and art in the context of late capitalism. In the article the author revises Jameson’s critique of art addressing consumerism and demonstrates that he did not consider the relevance of the means of consumption as regards the cultural logic of late capitalism. She claims that in order to open space to examine contemporary art as being critical towards consumerism, one also needs to consider the ontological changes that have occurred to art and pay attention to performative art, while Jameson was still focused on a representational mode of art. By being performative and also setting out actions outside of spaces that were traditionally designed for art, in the space meant for consumption, art has much a better chance to act politically, which Jameson wished to see from art which addresses consumerism, but did not. The author argues that if one is to seek critical or political art in late capitalism, those would be the cases of artistic interventions into the means of consumption.

The article deals with the relationship of hermeneutics and phenomenology in Arūnas Sverdiolas’s philosophy of culture. Firstly what is discussed is the problem of the separation between culture and nature, and then the concept of cultural activity and creation is analyzed. In cultural philosophy it is not enough to reflect on the cultural act of creation. Creation is the discovery of the world’s essential forms of expression. Ideas need to be discovered and only then they can be materialized and communicated to others in such an objective way. Therefore, culture must be understood as the communication of meaning. Cultural objects refer not only to the actions that create them, but also to the demands placed on potential perceivers.

The article seeks to highlight and thus draw attention to some important features of A. Sverdiolas’s thinking and his hermeneutic research. The article discusses three models of cultural hermeneutics: “weak hermeneutics,” “strong hermeneutics,” and “deep hermeneutics.” The aim of the article is to substantiate the thesis that A. Sverdiolas’s hermeneutics can be assigned to the so-called “strong hermeneutics,” but with elements that are also characteristic of the so-called “deep hermeneutics.” The article emphasizes that A. Sverdiolas considers and discusses in his texts the conceptual approaches of the so-called “weak hermeneutics,” but does not theoretically engage in it. It should be emphasized that A. Sverdiolas considers and discusses the conceptual approaches of the so-called “weak hermeneutics,” but does not theoretically engage in it. Also, based on the metaphorical image of “urbanization,” the article seeks to draw attention to A. Sverdiolas’s contribution to expanding and deepening research in the field of culture in Lithuania.

Marcell Jankovics’s animated film titled The Tragedy of Man is in fact the adaptation of Madách’s main work, however, besides this, with the further thinking of the literary text, and placing it into set of mediums resulting a saturation of meanings he has already created a sovereign, autonomous piece of art. The “dramaturgy of dreams” within the intermedial animated movie including the magnitude of Madách’s literary work not only illustrates and adapts the hypotext, but it even offers a related re-interpretation to it. As a result, by means of the intertwining of communication channels, it creates a complex, ever-changing formation of statements within the intermediality of text-image-music. This process is accompanied by a saturation of meanings, resulting the emergence of countless symbols and grotesque images to match the hypotext, thus extending its interpretative modalities, fulfilling its “ability to be filled up”.

Parmenidész 3. fragmentumának heideggeri interpretációi
In my paper, I investigate Heidegger’s Parmenides-interpretations. My question is: what is the relation between them and the Heideggerian interpretation of the so called Likeness Principle – like is understood only by like – which is known especially from hermeneutical texts. I analyse the interpretations of the 3rd fragment of Parmenides in a chronological way and I attempt to accompany the German thinker on his thinking path leading to the German terms Selbe and Zusammengehören that are probably untranslatable within the Heideggerian context. Meanwhile, I intend to reveal the turns and the junctions, which characterise Heidegger’s point of view relating to both Parmenides and the Likeness Principle, and also the differences that could be detected between their Heideggerian reading and an idealistic one. Moreover, the less explicit intention of this paper is the following: helping with the preparation of a future, deeper account regarding the Likeness Principle.

In order to duly read Az-Zamaẖšarī's comment of Qur'an (al-Kaššāf) it is necessary to penetrate into the exegetical methods and hermeneutical structure that lies in the methodology used in writing this classical Tafsir. In this paper we present the most necessary remarks on az- Zamaẖšarī's exegetical methods of study of the text and meaning of the Qur'an. We have tried to explain this level of his Tafsir, through the many steps that he named like this: And this part of the Qur'an is read even this "(wa quri'a – و قرئ )," and if you asked / told "(fa in qulta – فإن قلت ) -" I'm telling you "(qultu - قلت ) or, more rarely, "and if someone said" (fa in Qala qā'ilun - فَإِنْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ ), "I answer" (qultu - قلت ), "and why not say so?" Halle Qila - ىَلاَّ قِيلَ or: Wa Halle Qila - وَىَلاَّ قِيلَ , "as it was told," "as it was said" Ka'annahū Qila - كَأَنَّوُ قِيلَ , and finally wa l-ma'nā ( وَالْمَعْنَ ), "and the meaning is" (or: and this word means). All these exegetical procedures should be viewed as a whole, in the az-Zamaẖšarī's quest for a meaning more of the Qur'an.

In Andalus as in other parts of the Islamic state, in the first centuries of the Hijra, there was a development of hadith sciences, since there matured a large number of hadith scientists who would eventually achieve world-level in the field of studying hadith in the first centuries in the East, and in later times on the Iberian Peninsula.
