Phenomenological-hermeneutical method. Epistemological-methodological course

Abstract

Addressing the phenomenological-hermeneutic method for its epistemological-methodological journey requires meticulous, conceptual and procedural work, an ideal path for the construction of scientific knowledge, focused on the lived experiences of the subjects, and located in the alternative of description, understanding and interpretation. The general purpose of this research was to analyze from a theoretical and epistemological perspective the phenomenological-hermeneutic method and the operations that are developed in its methodological journey. Theoretically it was based on the authors Dilthey (1966), Heidegger (2003), Husserl (1988), Gadamer (1988), Moustakas (1994). For the development, a documentary investigation was carried out, selecting printed and digital sources, scientific articles, and publications. The findings derived from the analysis indicate that phenomenology and hermeneutics from a single knowledge, for the development of qualitative works lies in the interaction, in the observation technique, generating presumptions, descriptions, understandings and interpretations of the context, this through the data provided by the subjects, actors, phenomenon of study
