Hermeneutics refers to the theory and practice of interpretation, where interpretation involves an understanding that can be justified. There are four major types of hermeneutics: literal, moral, allegorical, and interpretive hermeneutics. Hermeneutics describes both historically interpreting texts and objects as well as a theory of understanding not just plays or novels but day-to-day life experiences like interpreting friends' actions or understanding a job termination in the context of one's life story.

interpretation involves an understanding that can be justified. It describes both a body of historically interpreting texts, objects, and concepts, and a theory of understanding such as play or novels, but also on day-to-day life, when we interpret actions of our friends or try to figure out what a job termination, for example, means the context of our life story.
