BARCELO, Axel. Theories of Interpretation in Hermeneutics and Analytical Philosophy. Diánoia [online]. 2015, vol.60, n.74, pp.147-154. ISSN 0185-2450.

In "Essential Elements for an Analogical Hermeneutics", Mauricio Beuchot seeks to place his analogical hermeneutics in a position between what he calls univocism and allegorical hermeneutics. In this commentary I intend to show, taking into account that the theoretical goals of hermeneutics are not so different from those of analytical theories of interpretation, that the debate over the role played by extralinguistic elements in interpretation is much more complex than what Beuchot's trilemma suggests.

Keywords : Beuchot; contextualism; language; context; analogical hermeneutics.
