Course content
The aim of the discipline is to master the fundamental method of understanding and interpreting texts based on a comprehensive approach to Ancient Greek philosophical sources in linguistic, literary, translational, cultural, and philosophical aspects. The first part of the course introduces the history of the emergence of hermeneutics as a scientific discipline and its basic concepts and procedures: text and context, understanding and pre-understanding, conflict of interpretations, hermeneutic circle, and provides an idea of the typological differentiation of texts based on linguistic markers of the Ancient Greek language. The second part is focused on the practical disclosure of pragmatic and genre-stylistic characteristics of philosophical discourse using the works of Heraclitus, Empedocles, Parmenides, and Plato.
