Keywords: New realism, Hermeneutics, Truth, Ontology, Epistemology

Abstract

Three conceptions of truth: hypertruth, hypotruth, and mesotruth. The result of this differentiation allows the rehabilitation of hermeneutics by providing a realistic version of it, which on the one hand is distinct from the postmodernist one in that it recognizes the fundamental role of ontology and on the other avoids the risk taken by a large part of analytical philosophers of misunderstanding historical differences at an epistemological level.
