Philosophical hermeneutics, understood as the theory of interpretation, investigates some questions that are also asked in the cognitive sciences.
The nature of human understanding, the way that we gain and organize knowledge, the role played by language and memory in these considerations, the relations
between conscious and unconscious knowledge, and how we understand other persons, are all good examples of issues that form the intersection of hermeneutics
and the cognitive sciences. Although hermeneutics is most often contrasted with the natural sciences, there are some clear ways in which hermeneutics can contribute to the cognitive sciences and vice versa.
