Abstract

Hermeneutics, as a core area of humanities, explores the requirements and processes which enable cultural understanding. Traditional hermeneutic theories systematically undervalue the role of the body in understanding. Instead of accepting understanding as a mental process, I want to show that there is immediate understanding with the body - an intuitive understanding which precedes understanding by linguistic means. If physical understanding is recognized linguistically, it can make a significant contribution to the cultural understanding of the self and the other. Empathy is an important function in the process of understanding. A model of linguistic understanding consolidated in physical processes is to be developed using new neurobiological work on empathetic processes
