I'm not sure I understand the distinction you are making here, Greg. Phenomenology and hermeneutics are not antithetical to one another. One can be phenomenological, hermeneutically. Phenomenology refers to alowing phenomena to show up, right? Hermeneutics refers to a particular method of hovering between context and specifics. Within the hermeneutics of moving back and forth between the meaning of a specific phenomena (or lack of a specific it) which defines the context of meaning for that phenomena, and the context of meaning which defines the meaning of the specific phenomena, you are being phenomenological.
