The community of interpreters: on the hermeneutics..

---

The community of interpreters is a democratic community. There is no pre-ordained blueprint for how the process will take place so that interpretations, whether new or old, are free to emerge and obtain when relevant. The plurality of interpreters makes this possible, freeing the individual interpreter from the constraints of their own subjectivity. Furthermore, the community of interpreters is fallible and ready to self-correct in light of alternative interpretations not yet seen.
What the reader will follow is a geneology of sorts, moving from Peirce to Royce to Corrington. Peirce sees the community of science, loyal to the scientific method, as the paradigm of communal interpretation. It is the community that agrees upon the objective criteria for determining the real, truth and validity of judgments. For Royce, the community of interpretation is modelled after the Beloved Community of the Church, whose goal is to see the world as God sees it, the perfect interpretation. Finally, Corrington furthers the notion of the community of interpreters as it relates to theological hermeneutics and philosophy in general.
