3. Hermeneutic Circle
In order to achieve a full understanding of a text or any cultural artifact from a particular culture, one has to understand that culture as a whole and, in turn, to understand that particular culture as a whole one has to understand the meanings of individual cultural products. This circular relationship between a part and a whole is known as the hermeneutical circle. It can be applied to many things: relationship between a sentence and a paragraph, a paragraph and a chapter, a chapter and a book, individual and society and so on.
