 Schleiermacher's Hermeneutics and Criticism
Friedrich Schleiermacher’s Hermeneutics and Criticism (1838) is concerned with the art of understanding the meaning of discourse, and with the art of avoiding misinterpretation of the meaning of discourse.
Schleiermacher also explains that grammatical interpretation of acts of speech or writing may be used to clarify the difference (or opposition) between their literal and metaphorical meaning, and between their particular and general meaning.
Schleiermacher maintains that while grammatical interpretation is a method of understanding how meaning is determined by the way in which language is used, psychological interpretation is a method of understanding how spoken or written language represents the thoughts of the person who is speaking or writing.

Schleiermacher's theories of interpretation and translation rest squarely on three of the Herder-inspired doctrines in the philosophy of language which were described earlier: (4) thought is essentially dependent on and bounded by, or even identical with, language; (5) meaning is word usage; and (7) there are deep linguistic and conceptual-intellectual differences between people.
Schleiermacher notes at one point that he wants to chart a sort of middle course between ancient dialectics, which had the virtue of openness but the vice of courting skepticism, and the dogmatism of the scholastics, for whom everything of importance was pre-decided in an assumed religious principle.

Schleiermacher was deeply connected with the Reform movement of 1807-19; consequently, his view of internal political fortunes of Prussia might well have discerned a pattern the inverse of the external fortunes.
Schleiermacher was also involved at the synodical level; in 1817, at the time of the king's push for a union of Lutheran and Reformed churches, Schleiermacher was the Presiding Officer of the Synod of Berlin.
