This text makes some considerations about the dialectic between hermeneutics and semiotics. This relationship refers to a relevant aspect of the epistemological status of Philosophy, as it recovers the problematic distinction between explaining and understanding, in the context of certain current tendencies of the order of scientistic reductionism or unlimited relativism. This dialectic between semiotics and hermeneutics is considered from a dialogical perspective, which aims at a complementary articulation between the two, recovering the contributions of Paul Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics and Maurice Beuchot's analogical hermeneutic perspective.
