Arche's interpretation of the human world.

This article explores the thesis that interpretation constitutes the arche—the original principle—of the human world. It is based on the premise that human reality is not an immediate datum or a mere reflection of what is given, but a construction mediated by interpretative processes that shape both individual experience and collective life. Through a theoretical journey that dialogues with the hermeneutical tradition and phenomenology, it is argued that interpretation is not only a secondary or derived activity, but the very foundation of the constitution of meaning and the openness of the world. The development of the text examines the ontological, epistemological, and ethical implications of this perspective, as well as its limits and challenges. Finally, it is concluded that assuming interpretation as arche allows us to rethink the human condition from a logic of openness, plurality and responsibility, overcoming objectivist reductionism or naïve relativism.

Abstract

This article explores the thesis that interpretation constitutes the arche—the original principle—of the human world. It is based on the premise that human reality is not an immediate datum or a mere reflection of what is given, but a construction mediated by interpretative processes that shape both individual experience and collective life. Through a theoretical journey that dialogues with the hermeneutical tradition and phenomenology, it is argued that interpretation is not only a secondary or derived activity, but the very foundation of the constitution of meaning and the openness of the world. The development of the text examines the ontological, epistemological, and ethical implications of this perspective, as well as its limits and challenges. Finally, it is concluded that assuming interpretation as arche allows us to rethink the human condition from a logic of openness, plurality and responsibility, overcoming objectivist reductionism or naïve relativism.
