Hermeneutics of "tawil" Analysis and criticism of the modernist interpretation in the light of the fundamentalist method

Abstract

This study addresses the concept of modern interpretation "Hermeneutics", its structure, philosophical and intellectual backgrounds, objectives, and methodologies, and compares it to the fundamentalist method to evaluate it.

The research concludes that modern interpretation is an attempt to alter the traditional methodology governing the interpretation process. It aims to replace it with a new reading that grants the reader absolute authority to pull the texts towards meanings derived from the reader's perceptions, imaginations, and inclinations. These meanings are subject to a deviant reality, submissive to its demands.
