ABSTRACT
Hermeneutic is the science or the theory of text interpretation. Schleiermacher gives priority to the own
work and offers the overall plan in two types of hermeneutics: grammatical hermeneutics and technical
hermeneutics. Wilhelm Dilthey believes that the ultimate interpretation is not getting to what the text
states, but to the one who has him stated in the text. Romanticism, however, is a kind of emotional
reaction against wisdom-oriented. The purpose of this study is demonstrating the hidden relationship
between the two schools of romanticism and traditional hermeneutics. These relationships can help in the
area of basic concepts and fundamental issues in hermeneutics. Results obtained from this study are that
the source of traditional hermeneutics is romanticism school and paying too much attention by romantic
to the creator of the work and its feelings has been made to traditional hermeneutics.
Keywords: school, traditional hermeneutics, romantic, romanticism, Schleiermacher.
INTRODUCTION
First, it is necessary for the induction topic and getting a strong result, two issues of hermeneutics and
romanticism schools should be discussed:
1. Hermeneutics
Hermeneutics is the theory and science of text interpretation. Hermeneutics is derived from the Greek
word (hermeneuō, 'translate' or 'interpret') meaning that interoperation and to clear, to understanding and
to explain. In Greek mythology, Hermes interprets often coded messages from the gods for the
attenuations. So it is not surprising that hermeneutics as a method being initiation from the interpretation
of sacred texts and is very near to jurisprudence. The logomachies of reformism movement over the
Catholic Church ruled which only the church has the authority to interpret the Bible lead to conclude
through insistency of protestant on self-determination on scripture and clearly attempt to show that the
fundamental of biblical.
Overall statue from the theory and practice of the controversies lead to development of hermeneutics.
Gradual adjustment of the material and turn it into a methodology for the interpretation of the text, in the
late nineteenth century form to the more general philosophical theory that emphasizes the decisive
importance of interpretation. Friedrich Schleiermacher, German theologian, was the first researcher who
attempted to interpret the outcome of the general theory, a theory that can be applied in the context of
non- religious material. Schleiermacher what is known as the hermeneutic circle was formulated: 'in
anything, the component to be understood in the context of overall and the overall to exiguous'….He
believes that, it is inevitable to issues about understand and this is a view point that remains on the
twentieth century hermeneutics. Accordingly, Schleiermacher believes that we understand the author
belong to last days better than herself, because we can see him in the historical context broader than in the
past (Rima Mecharik, 2005 : 462-461).
The hermeneutic that is proposed by Schleiermacher, in fact, gives priority the owner of work and does
not give a value to the reader's understanding. This approach is different from the modern hermeneutics.
In the viewpoint of Schleiermacher for full understanding of any work one should be get the other life and
works of the author. But, in the other hand, one cannot be know the author without understanding his
