Hermeneut

Moses, full of sacrificial institutes, is the text, Isaiah and all the prophets are the hermeneuts[…].

He was a hermeneut who worked out striking interpretations of texts.

Oh, an ardent hermeneut might try to distinguish his or her own experience as more intensively "pop" than that of less authentic metaconsumers passing through Coke's world.

In short, Hillman is not a hermeneut but an imagist, or phenomenologist, who sticks to the image, adheres to the phenomenon, and adamantly refuses to interpret it, or reduce it to a concept.
