In this study, I examine the hermeneutic approach to consciousness, truth, and language. Based on the hermeneutic approach, it is claimed that consciousness is the consciousness of something, rather than a disengaged entity that connects with others when necessary. It is also claimed that truth is not a correspondence between reality and its linguistic expression assumed by the classical correspondence theory, that this is a layer of the basic truth, and that truth is actually an event. Finally, it is argued that language is more than just a tool for communication; it is also a structure that carries meaning and thus determines both consciousness and understanding of truth.
