Summary/Abstract: Article entitled Exploring the clearances — gazing outward for oneself. The interpreter in the face of the problem of revealing the text is devoted to reflection on the art of interpretation in the philosophy of Martin Heidegger. At the same time, it becomes an interesting inspiration for Polish studies of encounters with literary texts. Following the idea of the German philosopher, the interpretation is understood here as an unusual way of looking, going towards the analysis of self and consciousness, among others acceptance, reading or competence and penetrating the meaning of the text. The interpreter, therefore, is the one who carefully observes, notices details and looks at oneself, which provides him/ her with an intellectual overview in the process of interpretation. On the one hand, the philosophical aspects of Heidegger’s ideas are helpful in understanding the need to build one’s own interpretative attitude through thinking and persistence in the question. On the other hand, modern philosophy as a consequence of Heidegger’s thought becomes in this way a moment of reflection on itself, the process of interpretation and what the interpreter brings into it. They provide the basis for reflection on the construction of indivudual learning philosophy.
