Hans Gumbrecht’s Hermeneutic of Presence and Zen Buddhism – A Dialogue within Haikai’s Poetic

In the present work, we intend to establish a dialogue between the hermeneutics of presence, of the German philosopher Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and Zen Buddhist philosophy through the poetic expression of Haikai, observing the dialogical nuances between both strands of thought, demonstrating the importance that both On the other hand, they offer the direct contact of the human individual with the things of the world, with the direct / aesthetic experience allowing us to experience the components of meaning and presence and how this snapshot of the here / now is configured in the style of Haikai. As Gumbrecht states, the experience of meaning will always be more predominant from a text, while presence will predominate outside the scope of rationality, logicity, and organic conditioning, to use a Deleuze term. Zen Buddhism, also believing in direct experience, leaving behind the intellect, dialogues directly with this hermeneutic view. Keywords: Philosophy; Literature; Hermeneutics of presence; Zen-Buddhism.
