Abstract
One aspect of the symbolic consciousness is given by art and its representations. Precisely this representational character is one of the issues that most detractors has won, not only with the other spheres of knowledge but also within the disciplines themselves that are dedicated to collate their history and methodology. Worse is precisely this value that has been undervalued what has been contributing specific features of our appreciation of ourselves and our existence and its footprint in time. This awareness that requires the art of interpretation that Hermeneutics holds for us is the one that, in its measure, brings the value of knowledge as an art without end.
