Abstract
The assertion that philosophical hermeneutics are universal in meaning requires further interpretation not only in the theoretical realm, but also from a practical point of view. That is why attention focused on Saint Augustine’s writings may help clarify many important theses. I propose to look at Augustine as the founder of philosophical hermeneutics whose ancient works nonetheless suggest answers to modern challenges in the search for all-important human and global mutual understanding.
