The second part dealt with the subject of philosophical hermeneutics from the interpretation of language to the rooting of the linguistic dimension of the interpretive experience, that is in turn is divided into three chapters: hermeneutics and the universality of linguistic phenomenon, the language embedded in the human experience and from the Dasein hermeneutics to the Text Hermeneutics. The author aimed to trace the philosophical origins of contemporary hermeneutics and how the latter re-understood man, world and history for the sake of re-understanding the linguistic phenomenon.
