Hermeneutics is "the art of methodically guided understanding" (Kaus, 2022, p.1), which means that it helps us as a researcher in understanding the overarching structures of meaning in human life and action.

Primarily dealing with written texts, as they offer potential access to these structures of meaning, hermeneutics is particularly relevant in the humanities. However, the significance of hermeneutics extends far beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines.

It involves interpreting texts or other symbols, as well as interpreting the act of interpreting itself. It's about how we, as researchers, can better understand the social life around us.
