The distance between the mystical text and the reader -A hermeneutical approach-

From the second half of the 20th century, hermeneutics, which neglects the notion of the reader, have paved the way for the reader response literary theories. Hermeneutics either contented itself with the discussion of the text-writer relationship, or tried to reveal its difference and similarity from the disciplines that gave rise to it. However, these efforts can bear fruit by approaching hermeneutics as manners. Reader response literary theories, on the other hand, theorize a different reader model by evolving a vast number of new perspectives and approaches. Particularly with the development of phenomenology, the concept of experience, has been elaborated in the context of Western philosophy, and the categorization within the given concept has gained momentum over differentiation and repetition. The mystical experience evolving out of this categorization is the most significant component of the mystical text. Furthermore, the Quixotic reader is the one and only reader who can read the mystical experience and mystical text in a hermeneutical manner.
