Pathology of the components of the interpreter-centered theory in the interpretation of the Qur'an

One of the fundamental issues in the interpretation of religious texts, especially the interpretation of the Qur'an, is the issue of comprehension. Various discourses have been made in the field of comprehension. Some of these discourses are based on the author-centered approach, others are text-oriented, and some are commentator-centered. The commentator-centered interpretation considers the position of the interpreter abow the comprehensor, thus the interpreter is to be involved in constructing the meaning of the text. The purpose of this article is to explain the vulnerabilities of the components of interpreter-centered approch in the category of understanding and interpreting the Qur'an. The present study has descriptively-analytically examined the achievements of applying the principles of the interpreter-centered idea in understanding the Qur'an and has expressed its disadvantages. Findings of the research indicate that the interpreter-centered view causes troubles such as: denying the truthness of the meaning, denying its narrativeness, text independence and ignoring the role of the author and not believing in the objectivity of the meaning. These vulnerabilities are also taken from incorrect foundations of anthropology and phenomenology, which are not realistic and often confine human beings in the space of material and unreal life.
