In recent decades, hermeneutics and the assessment of interpretative validity in religious and philosophical texts have emerged as fundamental concerns within the human sciences and religious epistemology. The inquiry into the criteria for interpretative validity and the possibility or impossibility of attaining the text's original meaning—especially in the face of contemporary relativistic and fluid approaches—has intensified the necessity of rethinking objectivist and originalist theories. E.D. Hirsch’s theory of Objective Hermeneutics, with its emphasis on the authorial intent and the fundamental distinction between "meaning" and "significance," seeks to delineate specific and scientific criteria for distinguishing valid interpretation from invalid ones. Employing a descriptive-analytical method and a comparative approach, this research conducts a critical analysis of Hirsch’s epistemological framework and evaluates his proposed criteria in light of Allameh Tabataba'i’s interpretative principles. The findings indicate that Hirsch’s theory, by emphasizing the centrality of the author’s intent and the rational reconstruction of the text's historical and linguistic context, significantly facilitates the containment of radical pluralism and relativism in interpretation. Methodologically, it underscores the possibility of adjudicating between competing interpretations. However, fundamental criticisms—such as the difficulty of ascertaining the author's actual intent, the limitations of linguistic tools, and the probabilistic nature of the interpretative process—have revealed methodological shortcomings in Hirsch’s model, particularly within the realm of revelatory and religious texts. In contrast, Allameh Tabataba'i’s Ijtihadi and context-oriented approach—emphasizing the interpretation of the "Qur'an by the Qur'an," the utilization of reason and tradition , and the acceptance of multi-layered meanings—provides a framework for the indigenization and contemporary enhancement of interpretative validity criteria. Ultimately, synthesizing the strengths of both systems opens a new horizon for resolving disputes over validity and method in the interpretation of Islamic texts.
