The Hermeneutical Turn in the Theory of the Objective Mind of Karl Popper

Abstract

This research seeks to address the problem of the epistemological dimension of interpretation through Karl Popper’s theory of objective reason. One of the motives for raising this topic is to examine the interpretive process in the objective reason system and the functional role of the language that is included under it, by initially examining the historical context of the interpretive act and its presence. In the objective mind, based on Popper’s approach, the research moved on to talking about the three worlds as they are the pillars framing the process of human knowledge in its various types, and then discussed the interactive relationship between the three worlds and their impact on the objective structure of understanding. The latter, in turn, will turn into an epistemological issue, as discussed in some insights. The research aims to enhance critical practice in interpretation, while the last idea refers us to highlighting the distinctive evolutionary characteristic of objective understanding and reason. The most important conclusion from the research is that Popper’s claim about epistemological mechanisms and values in interpretation calls for raising the advantages of interpretation and its effective role in enhancing our historical and cultural understanding, which prompted an emphasis on the epistemological importance of fortifying the interpretive process.
