The article discusses the concept of "hermeneutic phenomenology" introduced by Ricoeur in 1974. This approach aims to explore the relationship between interpreting texts and understanding human experiences. The main goal is to combine the methods of interpreting texts (hermeneutics) with studying human consciousness and perception (phenomenology). The key finding is the proposal of a new way to approach research that integrates these two perspectives to gain a deeper understanding of human experiences and the meaning behind them.
