چکیده
The paper gives a broad overview and evaluation of research that has been done with regard to hermeneutics in Information Systems (IS). The approach is interdisciplinary, combining insights from the humanities with the IS discipline. After introducing the theme of hermeneutics, with a focus on philosophical hermeneutics, the relevance of hermeneutics for the natural and human sciences is described. A concise, critical literature overview of hermeneutics research in the IS field is provided, and the need for an updated, detailed and structured literature review on the topic is indicated. The method and outputs of a second iteration of searching, finding and categorising relevant literature, focusing on the AISeL collection, are discussed, as an example of such an endeavour.
