Hermeneutics of the Observer: Towards a Reflexive Hermeneutic of Interpretation.

This article presents an academic reformulation of the Manifesto of the Hermeneutics of the Observer, situating its philosophical claims within the traditions of phenomenology, philosophical hermeneutics, systems theory, critical theory, and contemporary political thought. The Hermeneutics of the Observer is articulated as a reflexive and stratified theory of interpretation that places at the center the constitutive role of the observer in every act of understanding. Drawing on authors such as Husserl, Heidegger, Gadamer, Ricoeur, Foucault, Luhmann, Maturana, Arendt, and Rancière, the article explores the epistemological, ontological, ethical, and political implications of an observer-centered hermeneutics. It also examines the methodological consequences for the humanities and social sciences, the integration of cognitive and biological perspectives, and the challenges of reflexivity and historicity in interpretation. The text concludes by evaluating the originality and relevance of the Hermeneutics of the Observer as a critical intervention in contemporary hermeneutic theory.
