Fore-having is composed of the linguistic possibilities offered to individuals by their culture in advance of any act of interpretation. The culture's linguistic possibilities set the parameters for interpretation and understanding that influence the way its members think and behave. Furthermore, fore-having allows intersubjective communication and intertextuality because members of the culture share a language. Fore-conception relates to categorical systems individuals create for operating within the culture. In short, the fore-structure is the context of linguistic possibilities for a user of discourse.
Hermeneutic phenomenology analyzes the fore-structure of the culture that surrounds an artifact.
In other words, hermeneutics examines the trees of the text and phenomenology delineates the forest into which the text is placed. Heidegger believed that all texts were a product of their fore-structure, which hermeneuticists must uncover before they can provide useful interpretations. And it is at just this juncture that we can tie our two theories together. The fact is that Heideggerian readings are of necessity rhetorical. They are elusive and must be argued for.
