In the search of an epistemology which consolidates didactic science, this pages analyse relationships between analogic hermeneutics (AH) and socio-didactics: If this one last can provide elements to hermeneutics for a knowledge of the social reality, socio- didactics finds in AH a precise methodological device to interpret the environment and interpret itself. This last dimension is of special interest to us, because improves didactic theory and its praxis. We start from a didactics with sociocommunicative base, to which we add a hermeneutic dimension as episteme of first order from which to interpret the classroom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article intends to present the essentials of an analogic hermeneutics. The procedure will be to expose in the first place what is understood by hermeneutics; then, the theory of analogy, and, lastly, what an analogic hermeneutics adds to the hermeneutics as such. Other topics, as the objectivity in the interpretation, will be mentioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Analogical hermeneutic can be interpreted as a pragmatist stream. In fact, Beuchot is clearly influenced by Peirce. These elements are manifested in Rorty's hermeneutic neo-pragmatism. Analog hermeneutics refers to the possibility of developing the understanding of cultural differences through the use of abductive and metaphorical reasoning. In the case of Rorty, this one is concerned by the generation of new metaphors that allow the extension of the solidarity and the reduction of the cruelty. All this forms a new utopia of understanding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the following pages I intend to review the idea of utopia. I'll try to understand it properly, although many definitions already exist. I will also try to go through its history, at least as far as the most important and know moments are concerned. Then I will try to show that the utopia has an analogic and iconic character since it is a metaphor and a model, or, rather, a metaphoric model we build out of a possible reality.

The dialectic, analogical and iconic hermeneutics of the Mexican philosopher Mauricio Beuchot are not only a consistent and rigorous method for addressing the problems at hand, they are also a philosophical instrument for reflecting on the world and life, existence and the human condition in its temporality, on the hollowness of existence and on life in a world in constant crisis and to date, without improvement.
