CONTEXT AND TRADITION IN JUAN R. COCA'S SOCIO-HERMENEUTIC-MULTIDIMENSIONAL PROPOSAL: THE SEARCH FOR A READING OF REALITY BEYOND THE IMMEDIATE

Abstract

This article presents the multidimensional socio-hermeneutical proposal ofJuan R. Coca, through which it is intended to give light to sociological problems.For this, a critical and historical tour of the univocist vision of knowledge, of the hermeneutic tradition, and a review of the interpretative elements that make up the analogical hermeneutics of Mauricio Beuchot are made, since they are the bases that will allow Juan R. Coca perform his textual interpretation in sociology. From the historical journey, the revision of the rich interpretive tradition of Beuchot, as well as the analysis of the proposal of the studied author, we obtain that, there is a need to carry out a deeper reading of reality, and that when we study it in its parts we see an ontological movement between the real, the unreal / imaginary, reality, which allows a multidimensional existence. We find in Coca's analysis of the social imaginary that there are two types: the prevailing and the hidden or not visualized, the latter through interpretive analog work become relevant, since they can be elements of dysfunctionality, of disaggregation, so They must also be analyzed. Analog hermeneutics enriches the sociological study because it goes beyond description.
