תקציר	Comparative hermeneutic analysis is a qualitative method that applies hermeneutic interpretation across two or more texts, traditions, or discourses to reveal shared meanings, tensions, and divergences. Drawing on Gadamer's concept of the hermeneutic circle and Ricoeur's theory of text and meaning, it moves iteratively between the parts and the whole of each text while simultaneously holding multiple texts in dialogue, surfacing how different historical, cultural, or disciplinary contexts shape interpretation.	Hermeneutic analysis is a qualitative interpretive method for uncovering the meaning of texts, documents, spoken discourse, or human actions. Rooted in 19th-century biblical and legal scholarship and systematised by Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, it operates through the hermeneutic circle: the meaning of a part is understood through the whole, and the meaning of the whole is revised as parts are interpreted. The goal is not to measure or code, but to achieve a deepening, dialogic understanding of the object of interpretation.
