Abstract

Hermeneutics as a discipline consists mainly of three parts or projects. The reflection on interpretation practices is a form of epistemology, the reflection on the use of an object of interpretation is a form of ethics, and the reflection on the reception of an object of interpretation is a form of aesthetics. These three may differ in normative character: it can be about truth and correctness, or about other values or standards. The three are not in conflict with each other, nor can they substitute each other, but they have their own place. The recognition of these different hermeneutical projects offers an orientation in the field of hermeneutics, and can help to prevent the evaluation of a practice with standards that do not apply to it.
