Abstract

.
Arabic poem prose, from the perspective of the literary movement of the Lebanese magazine Shear, as a literary representation of contemporary ontological thinking and contemplation in the Arab world, is based on the discovery of another kind of world and the relationships between objects. In this kind, form and language are depicted from a pre-designed framework and another form of existence. Hence, the comprehension of such texts with an intellectual capacity in the form of merely literary, technical, and methodological theories not only does not represent its semantic scope, But it may also lead to Single meaning arena. Hence the reception of the semantic dimensions of such texts requires the application of philosophical approaches. As an ontological philosophy on interpreting the text, philosophical hermeneutics allows the reader to receive extensive contributions. In this essay, The Germanist philosophy of Gadamer-philosopher and one of the pioneers of philosophical hermeneutics-who has centered on his theorizing of understanding the texts and works of art-has been interpreted in terms of Poem-Prose. On the other hand, the convergence of the theorists of these two areas-philosophical hermeneutics and poem-prose - has been studied and analyzed concerning issues such as tradition, language, and no-method. Regarding the results, especially those obtained from the analysis of the samples, it should be said that the thoughts of Adunis or OnecI al-Haj or other scholars of the Lebanese journal poetry in many of their components are in line with the hermeneutic principles of Gadamer, especially in terms of rejecting the instrumental view of language and its existence, and dynamic approach to tradition.
