Hermeneutic Approaches and its Instrumental Usage in Political and international Relations Sciences

Some sciences work like devices in developing the other sciences; such as logic which works like a device in keeping the thoughts away from errors, and its rules and principles are used in true thinking and developing logical inferences in many sciences. Thus, hermeneutics is known as the knowledge of interpreting and clarifying the other sciences. Although hermeneutic was initially created for interpreting sacrosanct texts, during its revolution it is used in different sciences and has helped their extensions a lot. In this article, we are going to explain about the major approach of hermeneutics in two classifications: traditional and philosophical. In the traditional approach, we are going to refer to Dilthey and Schleiermacher ideas and in the philosophical approach we are going to represent Gadamer and Heidegger views. We want to show the usage of these approaches in political and international relation sciences such as: employing them in the theories of making theoretical decisions and individual analyses, theorizing international relations (English and feministic school), disambiguating the concepts and political thoughts.
