A REINVESTIGATION ON THE PRESENCE OF HERMENEUTICS IN THE FIELDS OF BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION, LITERARY CRITICISM, FOREIGN RELATIONS, LAW & LEGAL PRACTICES, AND MEDICINE. (working title pa lang yan! how arrogant!!hehe)

globalization has been the constant issue of the present generation incorporated with the advanced methods of thinking and doing things out. the field of philosophy is somehow taken as a sort of criticism to this advancement, thus, a negative reaction to the progress of the modern world. People from the realms of medicine and law, or of any field incorporated with scientific knowledge, seem to disregard the presence of philosophical reflection or interpretation--hermeneutics in modern use--in their daily maneuvers to conquer the many hidden facts in the universe using the precision of science.
This study therefore aims to qualify these perceptions. hermeneutics, defined above as a philosophical reflection or interpretation, is everywhere. it is not just in philosophy alone that hermeneutics exists: everything is hermeneutics.a single interpretation of an atom is hermeneutics; a single question to that interpretation is hermeneutics too. Man, no matter how far he has achieved, cannot deny the fact that in everything he sees, feels, hears, smells, or simply senses, comes a consensus of what it is, how it is, and why it is. this is hermeneutics.
there is a strict compliance of a single meaning in the field of law, the precision and objectivity of science is a blank wall that prevents any other interpretation to exude; foreign relationships is taken simply as reaching-out to other nations for the benefit of all; any different interpretation of the bible can cause an outbreak of a paranoia of destroying a stable faith; literature carries a thousand voices and a thousand meanings, but even before one starts saying his piece, a preceding understanding already prohibits him from doing so.how then does hermeneutics sip in?
news of scientists criticizing science, or religious men criticizing their own religions or religiousity, is not new anymore.they've been heard, and they have changed other's perceptions. the single task of hermeneutics is to know what is questionable. a widely accepted tradition, for example, can still be questioned as long as the question is valid. this is the predicament of hermeneutics, especially that many take questioning as destroying.even in literature, fictional books are sometimes taken as real. when the muslim author Rushdie's book, Demonic Verses, was published a huge Muslim population reacted so violently procuring a manhunt to capture the author dead or alive. what happened? in rushdie's book, Mohammed, the islam prophet, was told to have taken the words of satan and not of allah when he created the islamic religion. this infuriated the muslim population that rushdie had to seek protection from the bristish government to which he is a citizen of.
thus is the purpose of this study: show the presence of hermeneutics even in the strictest area of concentration. and even in this technologically advanced world..
