BEUCHOT, Mauricio. Retórica y hermenéutica en Aristóteles. Nova tellus [online]. 2007, vol.25, n.1, pp.217-234. ISSN 0185-3058.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.nt.2007.25.1.217.

This article focuses on the main ideas developed by Aristotle on hermeneutics. Some of them are to be found in the De interpretatione, whereas the rest appear in the Rhetorica: therefore, the author studies Aristotle’s hermeneutics against the background of his own rhetoric. In fact, according to Aristotle, encoding and decoding arise from the use of the same tool, and so rhetoric teaches not only how to speak and write, but teaches also how to read and interpret. This may be clearly exemplified through the theory of topoi, especially metaphor and metonymy, that are studied by rhetoric as well as by poetics, without prejudice to their being considered also by hermeneutics.

Palabras llave : Aristóteles; elocución; hermenéutica; interpretación; metáfora; metonimia; retórica.
