The brain as a hermeneutic device.
An attempt has been made to reconcile the 'device approach' and the 'philosophical approach' to the brain. Systems exhibiting high structural and dynamic complexity may be candidates of being hermeneutic devices. The human brain, which is a structurally and dynamically complex device, not only perceives but also creates new reality: it is a hermeneutic device.
