This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: by Paul Ricoeur It is already a piece of good fortune to find oneself understood by a reader who is at once demanding and benevolent. It is an even greater fortune to be better understood by another than by one's own self. In effect, when I look back, I am rather struck by the discontinuity among my works, each of which takes on a specific problem and apparently has little more in common with its predecessor than the fact of having left an overflow of unanswered questions behind it as a residue. On the contrary, Domenico Jervolino's interpretation of my works, which extend over more than forty years, stresses their coherence, in spite of the gap in time between my present, soon to be issued work--Temps et Recit--and my first, Philosophie de la Volonte: Ie Volontaire et l'lnvolontaire. Our friend finds the principle of coherence first of all in the recurrence of a problem: the destiny of the idea of subjectivity, caught in the cross-fire between Nietzsche and Heidegger on one side and semiology, psychoanalysis and the critique of ideology on the other. He finds it likewise in the insistence on a method: the mediating role played by interpretation, mainly of texts, with regard to reflexion on self.
Book Synopsis The wounded Cogito by : Prudencio M. Edralin
Download or read book The wounded Cogito written by Prudencio M. Edralin and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study shows that the cogito is neither the ultimate foundation, posited by Descartes and Husserl, nor the humiliated subject proposed by Nietzsche. Rather, the subject, though fragile, is a capable human being. Both the over-exhaltation and the humiliation of the cogito are sterile alternatives for they alienate the human being from his concrete human condition. The offshoot of this alienation is the so-called wounded cogito. This study ventures to go "back-to-the-things-themselves, " to restore the wounded cogito or the self to his original state of well-being. Paul Ricoeur's reflection on the wounded cogito articulates the historical reality of the human subject rooted in the French reflexive philosophical tradition inaugurated by Descartes. Ricoeur's approach to subjectivity is both hermeneutical and phenomenological - which seeks to clarify through reflective analysis what is immediately and indubitably given to consciousness : the fact of the subject's own existence. Ricoeur made a hermeneutical turn transforming this reflection as intuition to reflection as interpretation. This approach is labeled as linguistic for it creates space for analysis and interpretation. It is motivated by the basic goal of all hermeneutics - a heightened self-understanding. This heightened self-understanding is seen as the power of human beings to exist creatively, which is a poetic response rooted in hope. Human fragility is not a weakness but a positive sign of our imagination and creativity. Hence, we are not doomed to meaningless. The operative presupposition behind this endeavor is that existence is indeed meaningful. Despite our fragility as humans, there is an over abundance of sense over the abundance nonsense. In this study, the cogito then is no longer seen as an epistemological subject but as the ontological affirmation of the I am in all its capability. Indeed, Ricoeur's rational discourse is guided all throughout by the surplus of meaning which makes his philosophy truly phenomenological and poetic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Ricoeur (1913-) is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Chicago and Dean of the Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences at the University of Paris X, Nanterre.

The Conflict of Interpretations ranges across an astonishing diversity of fields: structuralism, linguistics, psychoanalysis, religion and faith. The essays it comprises are bound together by Ricoeur's customary concern for interpretation and language and all bear the stamp of the systematic and critical thinking which has become his hallmark in contemporary philosophy.

Book Synopsis Hermeneutics After Ricoeur by : John Arthos
Download or read book Hermeneutics After Ricoeur written by John Arthos and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been a renaissance of interest in the work and thought of Paul Ricoeur, one of the great hermeneutic scholars of the twentieth century. It is time to assess the future landscape for hermeneutics as a scholarly field and an educational curriculum after the momentous impact of Paul Ricoeur, who extended and deepened its trans-disciplinary reach, and pushed its profile substantially beyond its German legacy. There exists a misunderstanding that his thought is simply an extension or revision of Heidegger and Gadamer; Hermeneutics After Ricoeur ably sets out the differences and tensions, establishing the originality of Ricoeur's thought and its application beyond hermeneutic studies, with a thematic focus on education, the humanities, and the liberal arts.
Book Synopsis Hermeneutics and Phenomenology in Paul Ricoeur by : Scott Davidson
Download or read book Hermeneutics and Phenomenology in Paul Ricoeur written by Scott Davidson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutics and Phenomenology in Paul Ricoeur: Between Text and Phenomenon calls attention to the dynamic interaction that takes place between hermeneutics and phenomenology in Ricoeur’s thought. It could be said that Ricoeur’s thought is placed under a twofold demand: between the rigor of the text and the requirements of the phenomenon. The rigor of the text calls for fidelity to what the text actually says, while the requirement of the phenomenon is established by the Husserlian call to return “to the things themselves.” These two demands are interwoven insofar as there is a hermeneutic component of the phenomenological attempt to go beyond the surface of things to their deeper meaning, just as there is a phenomenological component of the hermeneutic attempt to establish a critical distance toward the world to which we belong. For this reason, Ricoeur’s thought involves a back and forth movement between the text and the phenomenon. Although this double movement was a theme of many of Ricoeur’s essays in the middle of his career, the essays in this book suggest that hermeneutic phenomenology remains implicit throughout his work. The chapters aim to highlight, in much greater detail, how this back and forth movement between phenomenology and hermeneutics takes place with respect to many important philosophical themes, including the experience of the body, history, language, memory, personal identity, and intersubjectivity.

Book Synopsis Paul Ricœur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation by : Christina M. Gschwandtner
Download or read book Paul Ricœur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation written by Christina M. Gschwandtner and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2024-01-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of revelation is fundamental to any account of religious experience, playing a special role in the Judeo-Christian tradition where the texts of Scripture are regarded as revealed. Yet, any reflection on the revealed status of a given message or text requires interpretation. Paul Ricœur, one of the most important hermeneutic philosophers of the twentieth century, provides crucial insights on how such interpretation might proceed and what it might mean for texts to be revealed. Edited by Christina M. Gschwandtner, Paul Ricoeur, Philosophical Hermeneutics, and the Question of Revelation brings together major scholars of Ricœur’s work on the topic of revelation, showing both the role it already plays in his work and how his thinking might be taken further. Several contributors trace the development of his thought in regard to the concept of revelation. Others discuss the revelatory dimensions of Ricœur’s hermeneutics of the self, especially for such issues as identity, trauma, and forgiveness. Several contributions also place his work in conversation with that of other seminal thinkers on the topic of revelation, such as Karl Barth and Paul Tillich.
Book Synopsis Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion by : Alison Scott-Baumann
Download or read book Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion written by Alison Scott-Baumann and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. In his enormous corpus of work he engaged with literature, history, historiography, politics, theology and ethics, while debating 'truth' and ethical solutions to life in the face of widespread and growing suspicion about whether such a search is either possible or worthwhile. In Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion, Alison Scott-Baumann takes a thematic approach that explores Ricoeur's lifelong struggle to be both iconoclastic and yet hopeful, and avoid the slippery slope to relativism. Through an examination of the 'hermeneutics of suspicion', the book reveals strong continuities throughout his work, as well as significant discontinuities, such as the marked way in which he later distanced himself from the 'hermeneutics of suspicion' and his development of new devices in its place, while seeking a hermeneutics of recovery. Scott-Baumann offers a highly original analysis of the hermeneutics of suspicion that will be useful to the fields of philosophy, literature, theology and postmodern social theory.
Book Synopsis Extension of Ricoeur’s Hermeneutic by : P.L. Bourgeois
Download or read book Extension of Ricoeur’s Hermeneutic written by P.L. Bourgeois and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The path Husserl entered upon at the beginning of his philosophical writ ings turned out to be the beginning of a long, tedious way. Throughout his life he constantly comes to grips with the fundamental problems which set him upon this path. Beginning with the logical level of meaning, laboring through the idealism of the transcendental phenomenology of the period between Ideas I to the Meditations, in search for the ever more originary, he finally arrived at the level of the Lebenswelt. It was this later focus on the ever more originary, the source, the foundation of meaning which led him finally to the horizon of meaning and the genesis of meaning in the Lebenswelt period. This later period allows for a quasi wedding of his phenomenology with some adaptation of existentialism. But this union called for an adaptation of Husserl's logistic prejudice. The period of the Lebenswelt allows many of the later phenomenologists to speak of the failure of the brackets in their extreme exclusion and to allow for a link between man and his world in the Lebenswelt. This link is at the source of the ontological investigations and theories which arise from the phenomenological movement. However, there is the possibility of many tensions in such an endeavor since the study of being can be most abstract and most concrete.
Book Synopsis Ricoeur's Critical Theory by : David M. Kaplan
Download or read book Ricoeur's Critical Theory written by David M. Kaplan and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ricoeur's Critical Theory, David M. Kaplan revisits the Habermas-Gadamer debates to show how Paul Ricoeur's narrative-hermeneutics and moral-political philosophy provide a superior interpretive, normative, and critical framework. Arguing that Ricoeur's unique version of critical theory surpasses the hermeneutic philosophy of Gadamer, Kaplan adds a theory of argumentation necessary to criticize false consciousness and distorted communication. He also argues that Ricoeur develops Habermas's critical theory, adding an imaginative, creative dimension and a concern for community values and ideas of the Good Life. He then shows how Ricoeur's political philosophy steers a delicate path between liberalism, communitarianism, and socialism. Ricoeur's version of critical theory not only identifies and criticizes social pathologies, posits Kaplan, but also projects utopian alternatives for personal and social transformation that would counter and heal the effects of unjust societies. The author concludes by applying Ricoeur's critical theory to three related problems—the politics of identity and recognition, technology, and globalization and democracy—to show how his works add depth, complexity, and practical solutions to these problems.

Book Synopsis Dialectic of Sedimentation and Innovation by : Mabiala Justin-Robert Kenzo
Download or read book Dialectic of Sedimentation and Innovation written by Mabiala Justin-Robert Kenzo and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2009 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important developments in the episteme of our time is the recognition that all being and all knowing are socially conditioned. This recognition raises the question of subjective creativity: Is creativity or innovation possible? What is the locus of creativity? Is it the subject or the structure of the structures of being of which the subject is part? Any notion of creativity that takes seriously the condition of being is therefore bound to deal with the perennial issue of freedom and determinism. Dialectic of Sedimentation and Innovation examines the contribution of Paul Ricoeur to this question for the purpose of theological consumption. Ricoeur's philosophical reconstruction of the subject as self creates a space midway between the modern self-positing subject and the postmodern deconstructed subject where reason rules but does not tyrannize. It is from this space that he proposes a view of humanity that argues that to be human is to be homo voluntas, homo lingua, and homo capax. Dialectic of Sedimentation and Innovation seeks to theologically appropriate these notions for Africa's quest for a new creative identity.

Book Synopsis Habermas and Ricoeur’s Depth Hermeneutics by : Vinicio Busacchi
Download or read book Habermas and Ricoeur’s Depth Hermeneutics written by Vinicio Busacchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical and systematic study of the possibility to consider and practice Freud’s psychoanalysis as a form of depth hermeneutics. It contributes to a screening of the possibility of a hermeneutical interpretation of psychoanalysis, particularly with respect to the therapeutic practice. The book is an investigation into the philosophical implications of the hermeneutical re-reading of psychoanalysis and clarifies the real speculative and theoretical potential behind the dialectic of hermeneutics and psychoanalysis. It examines two themes which, so far, have remained unclarified and unexplored in their potentiality: firstly, at the level of a construction of a procedural model for the human and social sciences, as well as for philosophy, and, secondly, at the level of a philosophy of the human being able to subsume and express the biological and natural dimension of human identity as well as its historical narrative and social identity.
Book Synopsis Ricœur at the Limits of Philosophy by : Barnabas Aspray
Download or read book Ricœur at the Limits of Philosophy written by Barnabas Aspray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can finite humans grasp universal truth? Is it possible to think beyond the limits of reason? Are we doomed to failure because of our finitude? In this clear and accessible book, Barnabas Aspray presents Ricœur's response to these perennial philosophical questions through an analysis of human finitude at the intersection of philosophy and theology. Using unpublished and previously untranslated archival sources, he shows how Ricœur's groundbreaking concept of symbols leads to a view of creation, not as a theological doctrine, but as a mystery beyond the limits of thought that gives rise to philosophical insight. If finitude is created, then it can be distinguished from both the Creator and evil, leading to a view of human existence that, instead of the 'anguish of no' proclaims the 'joy of yes.'
