%X This essay is focusing on the possibility of entering the horizon oftext, by the offer of hermeneutics. The issue of comprehension andinterpretation of human beingness in the world is viewed as a hermeneutical phenomenon. Pointing out the two acknowledged faces in understanding the hermeneutics ¨C as a ¡¯phenomenology of comprehension¡¯ and a ¡¯logic of validation¡¯, respectively as an ¡¯ontological hermeneutics¡¯ and an ¡¯analytical or critical hermeneutics¡¯ ¨C the problem of this enterprise is that of approaching them beyond any controversies, trying to disclose their communication. Such a perspective is more fruitfully in the endeavor of finding a better way to comprehending a text, generally; and to overcome any paradoxes in the interpretation and comprehension process, by activating thefunctions of sense and reflection, by disclosing, eventually, the dialogical relation between the interpret and the text.
