Hermeneutics and ‘reading the body in truth’ Sample Clauses

Hermeneutics and ‘reading the body in truth’. Hermeneutics is central to Xxxx Xxxx’s endeavour. He engages in biblical hermeneutics, interpreting the two creation myths of Genesis, which he intersperses with other wide- ranging scriptural references. His commitment to the phenomenological method, encouraging analysis of ordinary life experience, broadens the range of his interpretation to include speech and actions. Xxxx Xxxx’s intention was to kindle an imaginative grasp among the faithful – and, potentially, among all people – of what it means to be human, how the body is meaningful and what truths it manifests. While Xxxx Xxxx’s theological anthropology is a multi-faceted exercise in hermeneutics, hermeneutics is not his primary interest. Hermeneutics and phenomenology are put to the service of theological anthropology. Xxxx Xxxx looks at how the fact of human embodiment determines how man knows anything of the world, including knowing what kind of creature he is, and how the meaning of the body is manifest or ‘inscribed’ in it. The body is the means of man’s knowing but it also knows in the sense of having an innate awareness of itself. This meaning is accessible to all, as all are embodied, although scriptural revelation aids correct understanding. For Xxxx Xxxx ‘rereading the body in truth’6 is the primary task of the person, as of his own theological anthropology. Xxxx Xxxx’s key phrase expressly connects the body with language, treating the body metaphorically as text. His method therefore begins with scriptural textual exegesis, then applies that method of interpretative reading to acts of living and the body that enacts. Two different types of thing, literary text and human body, are related to each other by the cognitive act of interpretation; each treated of as text to be read. His hermeneutic of the body enters the domain of body-poetics. Metaphor and poetics are therefore not alien to Xxxx Xxxx’s theological anthropology, but intimately entwined in it.
