Abstract

In the first instance this article proposes phenomenology and hermeneutics as methods to approach phenomena which are not understood through the scientific method without changing into something else, such as, for example, literature, spirituality and philosophy. Husserl and Heidegger are invited here to explain the methods they propose. In a second instance Corbin presents the hermeneutics he has found in Sufi literature: spiritual hermeneutics (ta’wil). In a context where literature, mysticism and philosophy are undissociated, the Sufi concept of ta’wil deals with the phenomenon in order to understand not only the phenomenon itself but what it symbolises.
