Significance has played a crucial role in the history of hermeneutic philosophy and not just in Dilthey, Heidegger, and Blumenberg. However, there are few studies on the concept. Between vagueness requiring interpretation and over-determination that generates meaning, what is significant is interesting, thought-provoking, and challenging. This dynamic cannot be pinpointed which makes it particularly enlightening in the philosophy of religion.
