"Between Eye and Eye Stretches an Interminable Landscape": The Challenge of Philosophical HermeneuticsState University of New York at Albany While conducting phenomenological interviews on the experience of being a parent with children in school, the author comes to a deeper, more personal understanding of the tradition of philosophical hermeneutics. How people use languagethe form, content, and context of the words they use, whether in their interviews, analytic memos, or theoretical writingsis crucial to how they understand. As such, language is always communicative, relational, interpretive, and dynamic. The challenge for interpretive researchers is incorporating in their understanding of a topic the physical, emotional, situational, and relational conditions within which communication and thus understanding occur. In a series of poems, the author provides an aesthetic account of some of those conditions.
