Abstract

In order to justify the contradictions of the Bible, the interpreters of the Bible have inevitably deviated from the linguistic approach to this book and have turned to its empirical and non-linguistic justification, while the common and most common method of interpreting the Holy Quran to understand its text has always been to use the appearances of words. Mr. Mojtahid Shabestari - perhaps based on the anti-appearance movement of Bible interpretation - does not consider the method of understanding and interpretation to be exclusive in this case and, while introducing the authenticity of appearances as unproven and irrational, relying on Gadamer's principles in understanding the text, considers philosophical hermeneutics as the modern alternative to this method. This article seeks to provide an acceptable touchstone for weighing Shabestari's view by explaining and establishing the foundations of the authenticity of appearances and then revealing, to the extent possible, the points of intersection and conflict of this theory with the authenticity of appearances. In this article, a descriptive-analytical method is used and a library method is used. The result is that the authenticity of appearances in cases such as the narration of the author's own and factual meaning of the text and the author's intention, the precise placement of assumptions and preconceptions in understanding the text, and the interpretation of meanings against the temporality of meaning poses a serious challenge to the hermeneutics of the Book and Tradition.
