AN EXPLORATION OF THE HERMENEUTICS EPISTEMOLOGY VS QURAN INTERPRETATION: COMPARATIVE STUDY

It is an arbitrary statement when hermeneutics are viewed as compatible with Quran interpretations (tafsir). Worse yet, when it is assumed that hermeneutics has solid roots, seeping into Islamic thought without any comparative study between the two terminologies. Thus, starting from a very serious hermeneutical hegemony with great interest as advocated by some contemporary Muslim thinkers, the author explores the theme above to find a meeting point and intersection between the two terms, therefore the ambiguity itself could be avoided.
