Doesn't it mean interpretation of religious texts? That is, someone can say hermeneutic and we know they are not just talking about interpretation, but interpretation of a specific genre of literature.
That's historically true. But from the Wikipedia article, for instance:
> Modern hermeneutics includes both verbal and non-verbal communication[6][7] as well as semiotics, presuppositions, and pre-understandings. Hermeneutics has been broadly applied in the humanities, especially in law, history and theology.
For example, the hoax paper at the heart of the Sokal affair[0] was entitled Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.
