Reading my confusion

I’m sick of doing readings that require a dictionary just to get throught them. In Hermeneutic Phenomenological Writing, there is at least one, possibly two words just within the heading I need to look up. Here is what i’ve found

hermeneutic = interpretative; explanatory

pedagogy = function or work of a teacher; teaching

epistemological = a branch of philosophy that investigates the origin, nature, methods and limits of human knowledge

ontological = the branch of metaphysics that studies the nature of existence or being as such

… great they’ve defined ‘story’ for me

aureole = a radiance surrounding the head or whole figure in the representation of a sacred personage

encomium = a formal expression of high praise; eulogy

All this and i’m only half way through. Maybe when I understand all these words I can understand what the readings are telling me…
