 Philosophical hermeneutics maintains that the experience of truth as correct predication is dependent on the hermeneutical experience of truth. This is because in truth as correctness, the proper connection of subject and predicate depends in part on the being of the subject. In predication, the being of the subject is typically either left out of account or is presumed already to be determined or interpreted. But, the being of the subject—what it truly is—is a matter of interpretation. In illustration, we may consider the fictional conversation presented by Plato in the Republic among Socrates, Glaucon and other interlocutors about justice. In conclusion of our interpretive experience, we may assert the proposition, ‘justice is nearly impossible to achieve!’ But, whether this is so will depend on the being of justice, and the truth of the being of justice will depend, in turn, on an interpretation of it, whether we derive it from Plato’s text or otherwise. Truth as correctness, then, depends on the hermeneutical experience of truth, and such truth, in turn, is a matter of interpretation.
