The aim of this article is to show that hermeneutic phenomenology as elaborated in the work of Heidegger is relevant to 4 EAC research. In the first part of the article I describe the hermeneutic turn Heidegger performs in tandem with his ontological turn of transcendental phenomenology, and the hermeneutic account of cognition resulting from it. I explicate the main thesis of the hermeneutic account, namely that cognition is interaction with the world, followed by a discussion of the modes of cognition distinguished in the hermeneutic account. In the second part of the article I discuss the implications of this account with respect to the status and meaning of first, second and third person perspective of cognition. The article concludes with the draft and discussion of an exploratory model of hermeneutic cognition.

Heidegger conceives Dasein as the destination of Being and hence its existential analytic is important in the phenomenological ontology proposed by him. The term Dasein refers both to the human being and to the type of being that humans have. The root meaning of the noun is ―being there‖ or ―being here‖. According to Heidegger the primary objective of phenomenology of Dasein is a hermeneutic in the primordial signification of this word, where it designates this business of interpreting. It is through this interpretation the authentic meaning of Being, and also those basic structures of Being which Dasein itself possesses, are made known to Dasein's understanding of Being. (Being and Time, p. 62) It explores where experiences occur and for whom they occur and all these come under the scope of an existential analytic of Dasein.
