Between phenomenology and hermeneutics: subjectivity's responsive condition

Abstract

This paper aims to explore therelation between phenomenology and hermeneutics according to the responsive structure of the human subjectivity. Although Husserl proposes a "comeback" to the world of life, he does not give up of a constitutional Ego which, at the moment it makes the reduction, seems to suspend the real movement of life and of language. How could the world as a foundational ground to be something constituted by the ego? Here lies the paradox: to recover the foundational ground of all science is fundamental to recognize the transcendental purity of the constitutional Ego. However the question we highlight is the following: does this called transcendental "purity" mean an obstacle to the dialogical proposed by the philosophical hermeneutics? We shall demonstrate that no, because if we think them based on the respondent singularity (human subjectivity), transcendental phenomenology and dialogical attitude (hermeneutics) become theoretical models that enrich themselves mutually, even if very different from each other.
