Interpretation (philosophy)

Philosophical interpretation is the process of assigning meaning to concepts, texts, experiences, or symbols to uncover deeper, often hidden, understanding. It involves critical analysis, contextualization, and, in many traditions, a creative dialogue between the interpreter and the subject to move beyond surface-level, literal comprehension. Two broad types of interpretation can be distinguished: interpretations of physical objects, and interpretations of concepts (conceptual model).
