The contemplation of the nature of interpretation leads to the certainty that it is a deep-seated faculty in the human mind that individuals rely on in their relentless pursuit of uncovering the various meanings that are hidden in existence and emerge in the interaction between the human self and the world. If we are to define interpretation, as we intend to in the pages of this book, we will find that the path taken by various interpretive schools—the ancient, modern, and contemporary components of which we will explore here—leans towards exploring the meaning that serves as an intermediary between humanity and existence. In this book, this interpretive path is outlined, having been built upon the relationship between humanity and existence since its inception up to the present day, manifested in multiple and diverse historical forms, with language remaining the most eloquent, articulate, and brilliant among them.
