Question 1
1.1 Hermeneutics and Truth (15 marks)
Hermeneutics, which is the study of interpretation, particularly of texts,
provides a framework for understanding how humans perceive and
construct truth. Truth, from a hermeneutic perspective, is not simply a fixed
set of facts; it is something that is interpreted within a particular social,
historical, and cultural context. Every individual approaches a text or situation
with prior knowledge, experiences, and assumptions, which influence how
they perceive and interpret truth.
