About the Journal

Hermeneutics is not really concerned with hermeneutics...but with how we might make sense of our lives in such a way that life can go on...

David Geoffrey Smith, 1999

The journal features the work of hermeneutics in its application to topics that inhabit our lives and professions. It is when hermeneutics is put to work through the act of interpreting living features of the world that its strengths and character appear. Articles in this journal make the subtle interpretability of the world visible and available.
