[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Characteristic of humanity's constant quest for the concept of God's existence, the journey of understanding has come to represent myriad things to myriad people, ultimately rendering any universal explanation virtually impossible. The problem with such sought-after meaning is attempting to successfully pinpoint a single yet comprehensive connotation to its concept; however, this cannot be achieved as long as any two individuals harbor decidedly different interpretations. Upon examination of the foundationalists and nonfoundationalists (Descartes, Marx, Aquinas, Kant), one gains a significantly better perspective of these varying interpretations.

Ontological And Epistemological Underpinnings Of The Heideggerean Hermeneutic Phenomenological Research Approach
[ send me this essay ]
15 pages in length. The ontological and epistemological underpinnings of the Heideggerean Hermeneutic Phenomenological research approach address the aspects of knowledge and interpretation as they directly relate to the concepts of existence and meaning. Considered to be an artful form of understanding, hermeneutics was derived from the Greek verb, hermeneueuein, 'to interpret,' and from the noun, hermeneia, or 'interpretation'. Hermeneutics, which pertains to the aspect of uncovering hidden meanings, is categorized as a method of textual analysis- that focuses upon the sociocultural and historic influences on inquiry. It is important to understand that there exist myriad philosophies by which people live their lives. These philosophies help maintain order and a sense of direction that otherwise would merely drift in subconscious thought, which also helps to apply a modicum of understanding to the concept of meaning. When ontological and epistemological underpinnings of Heideggerean Hermeneutic Phenomenological research approach are discussed, they are focused upon the interpretation of life, language and humanity's place within it all. Bibliography lists 20 sources.
