Abstract

The Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic project is constituted in determining a new concept of interpretation, and this by : 1- criticism of structuralist project that impels the text to be lockout on itself. 2- Valorization of hermeneutic vision o the text whom confirms that there is no single text restores the same to all forms throughout an original reading of hermeneutic project. Awareness in the structuralist project is an internal awareness its main texture heading to the inside, thus to the closure of the sign on itself, the result : the closure of the text. Awareness in the hermeneutic project is an external awareness its main texture is going to the outside, thus through the opening of the sign to the outsider world. From here, hermeneutics tries to overcome the crisis of closed methods by linking language to reality so that the seen picture becomes derived from real picture’s life thus, it has led to a rupture with an epistemological system that considers the text –therefore the language here- only kind of couple mechanics and rules and fixed formal statics.
