Abstract To understand hermeneutical innovation and its possibilities, we should go beyond the framework of interpretation itself, i.e. transcending the parochial systems of language and writing texts, and situate it in the complex contexts of human life and the surrounding world. This is to be done by means of interdisciplinary analysis of the inner- and outer- living world, and in particular, the various microstructures and dynamics of life, and all different kinds of interactive forces involved in the realization of the interpretation should be accounted for. It is mandatory for hermeneutical innovation to give due consideration to all factors of life processes in their hyper complexity, so as to realize itself in the very tension between its possibilities and impossibilities.
