This paper develops a proposal centered on writing, editing, and reading as acts that shape knowledge. From this premise, it asks: How do these three elements constitute an epistemic unity that transforms both hermeneutical understanding and the conditions of knowledge production? The answer is trans-hermeneutic episteme, a framework that integrates hermeneutics, complex thought, and liberatory ethics in five stages: epistemic positioning, comprehensive openness, integration of knowledge, meaning-making, and transformative projection. In this process, reading, writing, and editing intertwine in a generative circular dynamic, forging a reflective practice that shapes meaning and calls for transformation. From this perspective, the text is recognized as a philosophical artifact that links language, history, and action, opening spaces for the creation of shared realities.
