Features: The central theme of this collection of essays is the difference between ontology hermeneutics and philosophical hermeneutics, as well as the relationship between the two. Clearly, ontology hermeneutics and philosophical hermeneutics have the following differences:
(1) Ontology hermeneutics takes the establishment of an ontological consciousness and an ontological system as the fundamental object of hermeneutics, while philosophical hermeneutics primarily seeks a scientific method for humanistic understanding without explicitly emphasizing ontological understanding.
(2) Ontology hermeneutics is based on the fundamental connotations of ontological cosmology, ontological epistemology, ontological ethics, and ontological aesthetics in the traditional Chinese philosophical tradition, whereas Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics is grounded in the experiential ontology of Heidegger's personal existence.
