Ricœuriana 3: Paul Ricœur en perspectiva: una hermenéutica de la acogida

Overview & Synopsis

The third volume of Ricœuriana brings together a series of studies whose central axis is Ricœur’s hermeneutic proposal. Analyzed directly or compared with other discourses, the itinerary of the French philosopher gives an account, from the beginning to his latest works, of the dialectic between the operations of interpretation: explanation and understanding. Thus, the phenomenological foundation of hermeneutics coincides with the rereading of the self and narrative identity; the ambivalence of the world of life resorts to the theory of action and the phenomenology of the body to claim an ethical concern; and philosophical anthropology is refounded in the stories as existential mediations of the subject. The texts gathered here put forward a reflection claiming that one of the results of the conflictual nature of interpretation is the welcoming of the other through dialogue, writing, and rewriting.
