System Between Method and Hermeneutica

The article has been split into two main parts; the first concerns illustrating the nature of the relation between method and text and which one is prior to another. We discriminated three main opinions in the history of philosophy, which are: • The first opinion is adopted by those who prioritize System to method. • While the second opinion believers tend to prioritize method to System. • The third opinion favors merging and unifying method and system. We worked on analyzing and discussing these opinions, and tried exposing their disadvantages, and expressed our opinions in this particular. The second part of the article is concerned with analyzing how to read a philosophy text, in which we discriminated two types of readings: • A closed interpretational reading. • And a hermeneutical open reading.
