Full textThe research reveals the tension, internal to Ricœur's view of the human condition, between the acceptance of temporality as a limit and the sense of opening that, at first in the transcendence and then in the transfer of testimony between the generations, allows to keep alive the hope. History can be interpreted in the light of this polarity, because it reflects the human condition as limited, though opened to the future. History has an influence on the understanding of mankind's issues, for its looking on a horizon of waiting, where will and liberty must play a role : what has not yet been realized must be looked at as what has to be achieved and that finally must be realized. Precisely at this intersection between the reflection about the past and the analysis of politics dynamics, of rights and institutions, the confrontation opens between the aims of justice and those of love, in a constant tension between reality and utopia. The practice wisdom is a creative art deploying spiritual resources, because, though immersed in the ethics and the moral, it comes up as the incidental answer of the solicitude face à the real human being. Also thinking the articulation of the work of mourning and the freedom that expresses itself in the oblivion - but still better essentially in developing forgiveness - involves a passage from the historical memory of crimes to their overcoming through the constructive action in the present and future

Full textThe matter of this thesis is to make the concept of "tradition" in philosophy clearer through the work of p. R. The latter was born in 1913, he was a writer, a philosopher and a believer, and he has been known to be the sole advocate of hermeneutics (interpretation) in philosophy. Hermeneutics is indispensable to man to understand himself as the subject doesn't master meaning, but is subservient to it. He is not in tune with himself partly because of his tradition. But nowhere does p. R. Explain this theme, neither in his articles nor in his books. Why is it so ? this thesis aims at demonstrating that there is no clear answer to the question : a) because the concept of "tradition" which conventionally associates the fact that a subject belongs to a community, to a temporality going back to an immemorial past and to the permanence of a language as well as to an aspiration to perennisation, was accepted as such only in the first part of the work before 1965. B) because after the "linguistic turn" and the discovery of the anglo-saxon analytic philosophy, p. R. Dropped these traditional norms of the notion of tradition to adopt intersubjectivity. The subjects are not integrated in a community any more but each for his own sake will interpret the wormd spread in front of him thanks to the texts to which p. R. Assimilates the acts and the works from the past that man must understand to try and know himself
Vigan, Barnabé. "Le problème de la négation dans la philosophie de la volonté de Paul Ricoeur." Paris 10, 1990. http://www.theses.fr/1990PA100095.
Full textThe philosophy of will deals with the true meaning of the practical affective functions of consciousness. Saying :"i will" means : 1) i decide, 2) i move my body, 3) i consent. But while this sequence of levels of meaning is obvious on the phenomenological level, it is not immediate on the existential and historical levels. The problem of negation is set already when passing from the phenomenological to the existential levels. Our study is limited only to this passage and does not consider the connection between the meaning and history. The manifestation of the fundamental meanings of the will does not cancel that other fundamental possibility of man which is the possibility of the "no". Negation is a constitutive possibility of freedom. Inversely, the essential necessity of the will is not concelled by the "no" of freedom; it must even remain a regulating possibility of freedom. The problem of negation becomes that of the harmonious connection bethween two orders of the possible. But this appears as such only from a foregoing elucidation of a more radical order of the meaning, namely the order of myth and symbol
Bertrand, Olivier. "La raison pratique chez Paul Ricœur : entre Kant et Hegel." Paris, EHESS, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006EHES0018.
Full textThe thesis studies the moral foundation of political justice, and more particularly the opposition between universalism and contextualism. Are opposed a legal (deontological) approach conceiving the individual as a bearer of rights independently of his living environment, and a more historical (teleological) approach wich looks at the development of human communities to understand each one's moral claims and projects. After having analysed the underlying conceptual background of this opposition through the thoughts of Kant and Hegel, the thought of Paul Ricœur is studied as an attempt to interweave both moral perspectives. Ricœur, on the basis a subject that is shown to be broken but yet capable, develops a concept of practical reason wich includes both a moral and a political perspective. The interweaving of Kantian and Hegelian claims is then made possible on the basis of the "two-sided concepts" of autonomy and historical conscience
Madila-Basanguka, Marcel. "Poétique de la culture : imagination, éthique et religion chez Paul Ricoeur." Paris 4, 1996. http://www.theses.fr/1996PA040026.
Full textThe purpose of this present work is to evaluate paul ricoeur's work through the idea of a philosophy of culture. But the project of a philosophy of interpretation is in itself subject, according to paul ricoeur, the central object. This central object deals with the understanding of human action and suffereing (suffer ?) through the means of significations which (enlever le "it") holds within itself due toits original structure of symbolics. The basis for our hypothesis stands on our belief that the differents s@heres of meaning in buman existence (ethics, politics, religion etc. ) are crossed through by the complex polarity of both ideology and utopia. The two terms have to be taken (ou should be taken) in thier essential meaning. It is a deep level of meaning (the medium by which the symbolic action takes place) that we hope to discover what (enlever le "it is that")enables the relations with cultural imagination. The implications of our work will lead us to what we may call a "poetics of culture". In other words, we believe, this philosophy of interpretation which implies both (enlever "a") theory of action and imagination, reveals itself with the power to create a "re-configuration" and a transformation of human existence as a whole (an ensemble)
Pedone, Claudia. "Le risorse linguistiche nell'etica di Paul Ricœur." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0161.
Full textStarting from the concept of noyau éthico-mythique, this thesis aims to reconstruct the thought of Paul Ricœur in the dialectic that it puts in place between the ethical and the linguistic dimensions. These two parts are closely linked into a single vital core that preserves cultures and continues to generate them. The ethic of desire, the first formulation of an ethical horizon in the thought of Ricœur, is constantly re-inclused in every stage of the long détour that the philosopher crosses through signs placed, by the human being in the world and through wich the human being can understand himself. The vital pulse is taken in its saying, in its becoming active in the world, but at the same time it gets away from it all, referring to an unceasing interpretive work, wich is extended by Ricœur from a hermeneutics of symbols to an hermeneutics of texts and finally to an hermeneutic of praxis, in a continuous connection between form and life, wich never admits that one can proceed without the other. In this work I investigate the subsisting plot between ethics and langage that splits into two questions : what are the ethics underlying the langage and the philosophy of langage in Ricœur's thought ? What is the langage in wich we can see the birth and the self-shaping of Ricœur's ethical thought ? Going on along these two directions, we will attempt to show the linguistic resources of Paul Ricœur's ethical thought, in a progressive movement that starts from the most analytical studies and arrives to the most complex discussions with some of the philosophical traditions that have most questioned contemporary thought and research of our philosopher

Full textFreedom does not exist yet, it must be created through action and invention. This implicates the double dialectic of sameness and selfhood, and of the self and the other. The thesis analyses the interplay between Ricoeur’s understanding of ontology and his ethics which he unfolds on the level of ethics of « good life », a moral which submits to the exigency of universal norms and a pratical wisdom, endeavouring to work out at the best compromise between the singularity of each situation and the universality of the law, on the personal, intersubjectiv and institutional level

Full textThis thesis focuses on the problem of method in hermeneutics of Paul Ricœur and its close relationship with the human and social sciences. The problem of method is discussed in Ricœur’s hermeneutics of symbols and signs and his hermeneutics of text and of action. The thesis analyses Ricœur’s dialectics between explanatory method and comprehensive method, the hermeneutics of suspicion and the hermeneutics of faith, archaeology and teleology, and particularly between understanding and explanation. This dialectic was established by Ricœur in his work on the different theories of symbol, text, metaphor, action and history. While discussing the relationship between understanding, explanation and interpretation, the thesis proposes a hermeneutics of oral discourse in general and of dialogue in particular. The hermeneutics proposed in this thesis go beyond Ricœur’s hermeneutics which explicitly excludes spoken discourse. However, it is also considered as an extension of the hermeneutics of Ricœur since it is based on Ricœur’s paradigm of text and translation. Thus, in addition to Ricœur’s hermeneutic paradigm of symbol and of text, this thesis suggests that Ricœur’s paradigm of translation is the main paradigm of the proposed hermeneutics of oral discourse and can be considered as the third paradigm of Ricœur’s hermeneutics

Full textWe intend to establisch that it is possible to draw up a real (philosophical) thought, starting from the exploration of the mythe and the cultural (historical) symbolsq by using the interpretative method. Well then, this one has already been considered by ricoeur as: 1) a theory of reading explaining and understandinf), 2) a judicatory act (which allows to pronounce a judgment - critical reappropriation). We will keep this double feature, to show that the relation between the different symbolical forms and the thought, is a relation which is not of identification but arduous derivation. The thought, thus worked, should not be reduced, neither to a 'mythological thought", nor to a 'symbolical thought', even less to a 'concrate thought' or a 'rising meditation' as some philosophies of the speech language are inclined to believe. On the other hand, it will merely concern a thought, trated at the light of the hermeneutical reaason, in order to tell, to give an explanation of human existence. For, in so far as it is a propaedeutics (theoretical) stage, the derivation process doesn't necessarily lead the identification of what is derived (the thought), to its generating (mythico-symbolical) source

Full textThe present work is a rereading of the hermeneutical anthropology of Paul Ricœur and a study on the theme of “recognition” in his work. The two aspects are complementary. The concept of recognition developed in an explicit manner in The Course of Recognition (Ricœur's final opus) presents itself as the ultimate task of a lifelong personal, philosophical and religious wayfaring. The polysemy of the word “recognition” indicates its great banality and its prominence in ordinary usage. The daily course of our life is punctuated with the recognition of something or someone through identification or distinction, the recognition of the identity of oneself or of the other, the recognition as gratitude or as witness. The present world situation (wars, struggle for identity and for rights of the minority and the marginal. . . ), reveals the need and urgency to delve deeper into the implications of this theme and its application in every level of human discourse – philosophical, psychological, sociological, political, juridical, religious. . . Today's global financial crisis demands a relook on what constitutes true human values. Without recognition, Ricœur's ethical perspective “aiming at the good life with and for each other in just institutions” (developed by him in his book Oneself as Another), will remain forever unattainable. What is “recognition”? How can one term it as a wayfaring? And what does one mean by “wayfaring”? A wayfaring of what and of whom, why and how? What role does recognition play in the anthropological routing? What is its place in the hermeneutical anthropology of Paul Ricœur? These are some of the questions that the present study aims to look at

Full textThere is in the Paul Ricœur's philosophic work a real reappropriation of the ontological categories of the same and the other of Platon, on one hand and, on the other hand, those of the act and the power at Aristote, deployed in a dialectic of act and of suffer dialogue with the human and social sciences by the methodological ways of the phenomenology and the hermeneutics. By defining the philosophic frame to think of the intimate otherness of the self, according to the lexicon of Soi-même comme un autre, still called the intra-subjectivity of the appropriat body in Le Volontaire et l'Involontaire, the methodological demarcations of the problems of the transcendental and the transcendence proceed to a désubjectivation of the transcendental to get ride of aporias of a metaphysics of the substance for wich the onto-theology and the onto-cosmology can be still thought as founders of the human subjectivity. The failure of a poetics of the Transcendence seems to justify at Paul Ricœur's the reserve of use of the notion of ousia as the focal meanings of the being. The meanders of the methodical confrontation between the criticisme of Kant, the phenomenology of Husserl and the analytical philosophies organize the trial of désubstancialisation of the subjectivity on one hand and on the language as essential figures intimate of otherness of the self implicit in the intersubjectivity and in the sociality

Full textWe identify the contribution of Ricoeur's phenomenological anthropology to social philosophy, from the dual perspective of imagination and emancipation, in order to respond to the challenges of the time of the crisis of meaning, a crisis that manifests itself as a loss of foundations. With regard to Ricoeur's analyses of imagination, many of which are still unpublished, we think as follows: the Paul Ricoeur's phenomenology of fiction contributes to think the subject's experience as the foundation of the social imagination from a constitutive point of view. In this way, we understand Ricoeur's phenomenological anthropology as oriented towards an emancipation project.We are convinced that this Ricoeurian philosophy, developed specifically in the 1970s, can respond to the problems that the crisis of meaning imposes, first on the task of founding philosophy and then on the social world. It is no coincidence that Ricoeur devoted a series of lectures at that time to the social imagination, published under the famous title of Lectures on Ideology and Utopia, at the same time as his Lectures on Imagination. These that remain unpublished develop its phenomenology of fiction as a general philosophy that proposes an ontology of the possible.Our thesis is that this ontology would make it possible to give foundations to the social of an entirely sui generis character, different from those of political philosophy. The latter is accused, in particular, by social philosophy, of not sufficiently reflecting the constitutive or ontological dimension of the social world, in which there are more profound issues than those raised by the criticism of the domination envisaged by political philosophy

Full textL'impensé de la subjectivation historique du langage se borne à discuter le sens, sans prendre en considération le mode de signifier. Ricœur ne fait pas la part du rythme où s'inscrit l'aventure à la fois personnelle et collective du dire. Selon la poétique de H. Meschonnic, la littéralité réside notamment en excès de la signifiance sur le sens. Mais pour Ricœur, elle consiste à révéler un sens de l'être prédonné et dissimulé.
Le rejet de l'historicité introduit un mouvement circulaire de retour à l'origine. Chaque œuvre se modèle, au demeurant, sur un texte biblique. Et l'ensemble des œuvres se décalque sur le corpus biblique. Au lieu d'interroger la littérature pour elle-même, Ricœur s'en sert pour réaffirmer ses théorèmes onto-théologiques.
Pavan, Chiara. "L’ontologie dans la pensée d’Emmanuel Levinas et de Paul Ricœur." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018SORUL022.
Full textThe present work deals with the relationship between ontology and ethics in the thought of Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricœur. It starts from their disagreement about how to articulate subjectivity, and the relation to the other, with the question of the origin and the foundation of meaning. The first aim of this work is to retrace the phenomenological background of this problem. By analyzing Levinas’ and Ricœur’s interpretation of Husserl and Heidegger, we are able to bring to light a shared imperative in both French philosophers’ projects: the need to reformulate the question of being, within the phenomenological tradition, in order to make ethics possible. According to Levinas and Ricœur, the rupture with totality implies questioning the identification of being with appearing, or meaning with manifestation. This necessary putting-into-question, for Levinas as well as for Ricœur, takes the form of an inquiry into the nature of language and speech. In Levinas, it is the rupture between materiality and the Saying that allows him to remove ethics from the grip of ontology. In Ricœur, reflection on language highlights the gap between experience and its linguistic articulation. Their way of limiting phenomenology, in order to save ethics, remains very different, of course: in Levinas the rupture is located between sense and non-sense; in Ricœur, between interpreted meaning interpreted and the idea of a totality of meaning. This work nevertheless reveals a certain proximity which makes the role these philosophers play in 20th century French phenomenology wholly specific
Vendra, Maria Cristina Clorinda. "Paul Ricœur’s Social Thought : A Critical Reconstruction." Thesis, Paris, EHESS, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019EHES0089.
Full textPaul Ricœur’s work excels both in depth and breadth. His philosophy, which touches upon virtually all major themes in European intellectual life, makes use of existential, phenomenological, hermeneutical, ethical, moral and political analysis. Although the secondary literature on Ricœur is huge and continues to grow rapidly, the social aspect of his thought requires considerably more discussion. By offering a sustained engagement with Ricœur’s ideas, the purpose of this dissertation is to develop a comprehensive critical reconstruction of his social thought. His account of intersubjectivity, his analysis of the significance of mutual reciprocity in the dialectics of selfhood and otherness, his critical argumentative scheme of political paradox, and his interest for the very question of institutions, justice and of recognition, testify the authenticity and the limits of an engaged philosophical reflection concerned with the complexities of social life, with how people collectively think about it, behave in, and make sense of social situations.With regard to the large amount of secondary literature written about Ricœur’s philosophy, this dissertation aims at adequately reconstruct his social thought through different inheritances that have a significant influence on his philosophical project, namely, the phenomenological (e.g., E. Husserl, A. Schutz), the hermeneutical (e.g. W. Dilthey, H.-G. Gadamer), the sociological (e.g. L. Boltanski, L. Thévenot, M. Weber), the ethical (e.g. Aristotle, Kant), and the political legacy (e.g. J. Rawls, M. Walzer). The present work is not limited to the analysis of the topics of his later philosophical enterprise. It makes also reference to his earliest writings on Husserl’s phenomenology, emphasizing the fact that these provide highly significant elements and instructive interpretative keys with which to assess his broader social thought. Moreover, this dissertation looks at some of Ricœur’s ethical and political writing concerning the relationship between Christian faith and social criticism published in the journals Esprit and Christianisme Social. Certainly, Ricœur’s social thought is a long journey marked by significant detours, which need to be critically considered. The internal preoccupation, concerned with the thematic unity of Ricœur’s social thought, will be always dynamically accompanied by an external preoccupation, focused on the place occupied by the French author’s social approach among the different currents of social philosophy and the social sciences. Which are, then, the unique features of Ricœur’s social thought?

Full textThe purpose of this thesis is to present a hermeneutic theory of reading, from the confrontation of Gadamer's and Ricoeur's philosophical hermeneutics. This confrontation is not obvious : the two works are heirs to Schleiermacher and Dilthey, via Heidegger, and both aim at conciliating the affiliation to the text's object with the distance needed for the interpretation. The main question of a reading's theory of interpretation is to understand how this conciliation can succeed. .

Full text“Tragic Wisdom, Freudian Wisdom: a Journey of Paul Ricœur’s” is the title of the present thesis inscribed at the heart of Paul Ricœur’s (1913-2005) interpretation of Freud. This research is the result of a philosophical initiative having for its ambition the reconstitution of an unexplored journey of Ricœur’s around psychoanalysis and Freud’s writings.Since the dynamic of Ricœur’s enterprise is expressed by continuity, and in the measure where his reading of Freud responds to the question of evil, one is struck by the themes that at first glance seem anterior to the 1960s when many philosophers became interested in Freud. He responds to his epoch with his Philosophy of the Will and particularly The Symbolism of Evil. Consequently, we have studied a number of concepts which are evoked during this period, such as myth, symbol, guilt, and the tragic. We have also shown how all of these themes have sustained a particular and atypical interest in Ricœur for Freud’s psychoanalytic writings and how they have prepared him for his later reflections on philosophy, notably in the epoch where he interrogated the question of interpretation.Furthermore, we have interrogated the philosophical interpretation of Freud that Ricœur proposes. Our working hypothesis was that the entry of a Ricœurian reading of Freud is discovered through an architectonic envisaged by philosophy. The three great structures of this architectonic are the interpretation of dreams, the interpretation of culture, and the death drive, which compose the hinges or the central point. We have also considered this architectonic as the summit of Ricœur’s reading of Freud where the most notable Freudian hypotheses have been discussed.The thesis of this work has been based on a progressive reconstruction of the path that Ricœur takes to the architectonic, specifically to different subjects such as psychoanalysis, the topical, consciousness and the unconscious, and reflexive philosophy. However, after having studied the different aspects of the Freudian architectonic we have gradually distanced ourselves from the phase of other themes including the Oedipus complex, the dialectic of the archaeology and teleology, although they have been invoked. Finally, the theme of the tragic reappears, influenced this time by his reading of Freud, which reminds us of another dimension of Ricœur’s philosophical work: to know that no theme already traversed and reflected upon will ever be abandoned in an intellectual journey

Full textThis search aims at regrouping Paul Ricœur’s political corpus in order to reflect its coherence despite its fragmentary style. The founder study entitled « The political paradox » embrasses the dimensions of togetherness, institutional life and public policies. This approach is progressily enlarged to ethics and to an anthropology of the capable man, leading to a social criticism that denounces the influences which weaken this capacity. This arborescence is then confronted to non-philosophy, in a mutual ordeal between the « political paradox » and contemporary neoliberalism, as well as through a dialog about theologico-politics in which biblical hermeneutics unveiles intentions behind philosophical arguments. The structure of this work considers politics as a perspective and as a compelling power, due to the antagonistic political traditions that the « political paradox » attempts to correct one by another through a pratice refering to political liberalism. Superposing this structure to the one of the « little ethics » in Oneself as Another enables us to root it in ethics and to connect it to the thematics of owning, being able and being worthy, three spheres to be treated as distinct ones. The entire course, which grafts hermeneutics of action to public space phenomenology, invites to a reprise stimulated by utopia, which unmasks neoliberal ideology and others. Hermeneutical condition figured by the formulation of the « political paradox » as « englobing/englobed » is a poetic wisdom that enables to discern overabondance through equivalence, so that we can act in response to the gratitude of being born in a way which rekindles the meaning of our togotherness

Full textPurpose of this study is to present a philosophical and ethical education in the light of confrontation of Matthew Lipman’s and Paul Ricœur’s thoughts. Through this confrontation, we at the same time seek to promote philosophy for children of Lipman in the educational field and to build up a pedagogy of the mutual recognition inspired by Ricœur’s hermeneutical philosophy. Although philosophy for children is presented in the form of an apology for the philosophical practice among children, it does not escape some limits. Thus we try to articulate this philosophy for children along with some contemporary major thoughts (those of Habermas, Buber, Jacques, Bachelard and Ricœur) in order to cure some limits of Lipman’s approach. This multiple articulation allows us not only to philosophically enrich Lipman’s philosophy for children, but also to rise to a new perspective on child education based on Ricœur’s hermeneutical philosophy, which seems to be appropriate for the difficult situation of current education

Full textObjectives: In the face of many discourses and stories on drug addiction, the present study has three objectives: (1) to describe drug addicts’ explanatory models with an approach from medical anthropology and transcultural psychiatry (Kleinman), (2) to know sociodemographic, migration and psychiatric factors which influenced it, and (3) to show that drug addicts attempt to plot their life histories according to Ricoeur’s notion of narrative identity. Patients and method: 70 patients with a current drug dependence according to DSM-IV have been assessed in Avicenne Hospital, in Seine-Saint-Denis (France), by the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue (Weiss) and other instruments. Results: Patterns of distress, perceived causes and help-seeking behaviours are heterogeneous. Patterns of distress, dimensions of addiction severity, and perceived causes are isomorphic. This result shows the circularity of causality. Causes and consequences are frequently indiscernible in patients’ discourses. Similarities between patients’ narratives and specialized literature illustrate Ricoeur’s circle of mimesis. Discussion: Psychopathological issues of the heterogeneity of explanatory models have to be taken into account in treatment. From Ricoeur’s and other authors’ narrative theories, the idea that patients are not only narrators and characters in their life histories (mimesis1 and 2) but also readers of numerous stories and of their own illness (mimesis3) is proposed. Patients have particular need of the help of literature, in a broad sense, in order to make their lives intelligible and to construct their identities. The value and the risks of a non-critical appropriation of this literature are discussed. Indeed, patients may hesitate between several identification models, loss of identity or identity withdrawal

Full textRicoeur’s philosophical project can be broadly termed as a philosophical anthropology. Within this context, a main role is given to the issue of imagination through the resources of phenomenology, hermeneutics, and reflexive philosophy. The issue of picture, however, remains quite unknown and has not been much questioned; it might even be undermined by being reduced to the context of reproductive imagination as opposed to that of productive imagination within Ricoeur’s anthropology, and due to the emphasis on the linguistic relationship to sense or meaning. Yet, instead of opposing the plane of picture to the plane of sense or meaning, an articulated connection between those two planes should be sought. The issue of symbolism opened by Ricoeur in his Philosophie de la volonté provides the starting point for our investigation. From that early hermeneutics on to La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli, via De l’interprétation. Essai sur Freud, La Métaphore vive, and Temps et récit, one could also consider that picture makes us think. But the issue of symbolism cannot be distinguished from that of imagination. One also has to link two paths of Ricoeur’s philosophy through the issue of symbolism, one that is orientated in the path of hermeneutics – the progression to the standpoint set by Du texte à l’action –, another that links the project of a philosophical anthropology to the fields of art and aesthetics. The research is thus structured around four parts. A first part is focused on the articulated connection between Ricoeur’s philosophy of imagination and philosophical aesthetics by addressing the hermeneutical prospect as the condition for the effectiveness of this connection. Extending this hermeneutical stance, a second part seeks to establish a bond between Ricoeur’s notion of a critical hermeneutics and the issue of picture. A third part, concurrent with the context of a critical hermeneutics, aims to consider imagination as mediating the plane of art and the plane of experience by referring to Ricoeur’s reading of analytic philosophy and, more specifically, analytic philosophy of art. Relying on the previous parts, a fourth part finally addresses the field of film, articulating ontological, narrative, and social layers to a philosophical hermeneutics

Full textAll the human history, in its individuality or its collectivity, shows the presence of a sense of Justice that is confirmed in every space-time even if it’s paradoxically affirmed by a denunciation of every unfair issue. Our choice is limited to the conception of Justice according to Paul Ricœur. The problematic statement would be the following: To what extent would the justice, either legal or social or political, be able to settle this universal and historical dialectic? Thus, to what extent would the justice, as it would be deployed through this dialectic, be a justice of recognition, a justice that would be fairer because it recognizes the law of a value as well as the dignity of a person? Moreover, Ricœur considers that, in order to study justice, one must pass from a concentric circle to another. The chapters’ progress follows these circles’ enlargement. The first chapter will focus on their center point which revolves around the notions of Person and Justice. The second chapter will develop the first circle which is limited to the judiciary institution and to the penal code. The third chapter will develop the notion of Justice from action to institution. This is the circle of the civil justice, the second concentric circle. The third circle of Justice will be expanded to the fourth and fifth chapters. In the fourth chapter, we will discuss the procedural justice, the formalization of a sense of Justice according to Rawls. The fifth chapter will be treating the conception of Justice in its pluralism according to Michael Walzer’s philosophy and Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thevenot’s thesis. The sixth chapter will develop the Justice as a “practical wisdom”. The conclusion will answer to the question if Justice is recognition. We will review the legal recognition, the social recognition and the political recognition

Full textToday, we are reluctant to use the expression body politic to designate the political community. This expression calls immediately to our mind the image of an organic society: a society based on the negation of the individual’s autonomy on the one hand, and on the negation of the idea of mankind, on the other hand. However, we can hardly give up the notion completely. For the body politic is a clear figure of our political experience: the experience of an active life, lead together with our fellow citizens, within a particular society or State. The question is therefore the following: can we develop the notion of body politic in order to think our political experience, without adopting an organic view of society? In this work, we try to elaborate a phenomenological version of the body politic, through the reading of Arendt, Lefort, Merleau-Ponty and Ricœur’s works. Our attempts is based on the central hypothesis that the phenomenological interpretation of human existence and of the human body can serve as a foundation for a non-organic conception of the body politic

Full textThe philosophy considered in this paper is presented as a way to practice it during our personal search for meaning dealing with our own questions and ultimately giving meaning and direction to our lives. Going back to this original idea, we aim to recreate the "retreat" of Greco-Roman philosophy, and promote a style of « philosophical life » which sits within both our concrete history and our present age. In this regard, we have revisited the work of Paul Ricœur, revealing - in all its layers - the notion of philosophical practice, and with all its experiential, affective, linguistic, narrative and ethical implications. The main aim was to show, bypassing the intellectual production of Ricœur, the figure of a person who, no longer so self-evident, is freed of his narcissism, and who shows it through his open questioning, who is able to put his truth and other values to the test, who tries to find his place in the world, and who loses and finds himself through his actions. So, by developing its theoretical nature, its methods and its disciplinary boundaries, we have demonstrated that through the application of this philosophy, and through the training of one’s personality « you become what you are ». Returned to their freedom and responsibility, the subject affirms their “to-be” as an authentic hermeneutic work, practised in the field of human action, according to a biographical method, and conceived as a wisdom, the main charge of which is ethical

Full textOur dissertation deals with the ecumenical hermeneutics of the French philosopher Paul Ricœur. The interest of his theory for the ecumenical theology lies in the field of the ecumenical reception. What makes the ecumenical reception so specific is the fact, that it requires the acceptation of the otherness – the alterity – of the ecumenical partner. Obviously, this process goes far beyond the ratification of ecumenical documents. In order to clarify the process of reception, we need a hermeneutical model explaining the interrelation of the interpersonal recognition of the otherness, the reception of texts and the change of collective identities. We deduce a complex model of the reception process from the theory of Paul Ricœur and we compare the model of Ricœur with three concrete ecumenical processes in France. As we see, there is a high degree of accordance between these examples and Ricœurs hermeneutics. In chapter 6, we give a summary in French
Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der ökumenischen Hermeneutik des französischen Philosophen Paul Ricœur. Ricœur, dessen ökumenisches Engagement hierzulande weitgehend unbekannt ist, wird in Kapitel 1 als ökumenischer Akteur und Mitinitiator einer ungewöhnlichen ökumenischen Aktion vorgestellt. Anschließend wird in Kapitel 2 ein Überblick zum Stand der Forschung in der Rezeptionsfrage gegeben, der aufzeigt, an welchen Stellen die Hermeneutik Ricœurs bestehenden Theorien etwas hinzufügen könnte. Als Spezifikum der ökumenischen Rezeption gilt die Herausforderung, die Alterität anderskonfessioneller Glaubender oder Gemeinschaften zu rezipieren. Was das im Einzelnen bedeutet, kann nicht durch eine Rezeptionsforschung geklärt werden, die sich nur auf die Ratifikation von ökumenischen Dokumenten konzentriert. In Kapitel 3 wird Ricœurs ökumenische Hermeneutik aus der Fülle seines philosophischen Werks rekonstruiert, wobei neben einigen Beiträgen, in denen Ricœur sich explizit mit dem ökumenischen Dialog auseinandersetzt, seine Schriften zu den Themen Texttheorie, narrative Identität, Übersetzung, Versöhnung, Offenbarung und Anerkennung herangezogen werden. Das sich daraus ergebende Modell der „interkonfessionellen Gastfreundschaft“ stellt die interpersonelle Anerkennung als das entscheidende Moment der ökumenischen Rezeption vor und setzt neue Akzente bezüglich des Rezeptionsverlaufs, des möglichen Identitätswandels von Glaubensgemeinschaften und des Gebrauchs ökumenischer Dokumente. Kapitel 4 geht der Frage nach, ob sich Ricœurs Modell in konkreten Rezeptionssituationen plausibilisieren lässt. Drei Beispiele aus Frankreich (Rezeption der Leuenberger Konkordie, Groupe des Dombes, Communauté de Taizé) werden untersucht, wobei eine weitgehende Übereinstimmung sichtbar wird. In Kapitel 5 werden die Ergebnisse zusammengefasst und es werden Anregungen für eine Ökumenekultur im Anschluss an Ricœurs Hermeneutik gegeben. Kapitel 6 enthält ein ausführliches Resümee der Arbeit auf Französisch. Kapitel 8 liefert den für diese Untersuchung wichtigsten Beitrag von Ricœur zur ökumenischen Hermeneutik erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung

Full textThe first part of this work discusses current theoretical texts on self-translation and explains my focus on the plural space of translation. The second part presents two case studies of contemporary self-translation: Federico Sanchez vous salue bien by Jorge Semprun and Un oiseau brûlé wf by Agustin Gomez-Arcos. Both works were originally written and published in French and then translated into Spanish by the author himself. Self-translation is not a means of naïvely reviving writing's original creativity. What makes self-translation a sui generis form of translation is the translations particular freedom to subvert the "ways of translating" and the rules of translation in a given historical context, always within the boundaries of translation. The writer who translates his/her own texts oscillates between reappropiation (applying the text to the present moment of rewriting) and distantiation (reproducing the distance that implies cultural or linguistic differences as well as the distance that signifies the pre-existing fictional world). It is possible to rethink self-translation in terms of translatability, faithfulness and visibility. From a socio-cultural approach one can consider what is and is not a translation within the literary field from an ideological perspective. Self-translation can also enact new forms of "making visible," a claim Lawrence Venuti makes for both the translater and the translated text

Full textThrough a philosophical analysis of the concepts of history and truth, this dissertation aims at creating a dialogue between the works of two of the most important contemporary French philosophers: Paul Ricœur and Michel Foucault. Our main hypothesis is that through its history, the concept of subjectivity fluctuates between the will to know and the desire of understanding. These two positions, irreducible to one another, reveal the two methods under study: a genealogy of the subject ensuing from a historicization of the will of truth (Foucault) and a hermeneutics of the self based on a universal need for interpreting our finitude (Ricœur).However, this comparison does not aim at reconciliation. The idea is rather to reveal a blind spot by which it becomes possible to grasp the complementary aspects of these thoughts through what actually separates them: therefore, this thesis could be considered as a playful use of the distance

Full textWith the end of certainties, attached to the modern age, what becomes of the act of believing ? The work of P. Ricœur, a philosophy for the hermeneutic age of reason, and the anthropology of belief by M. De Certeau disengage the belief from its opposition to knowledge, like its weak form, and explain it as an "existential", a way of human being as practice of relation to the other. Then, theology is already a practice of the Christian faith. It follows that, because not to believe in Jesus Christ's God does not make us less human, and that, meanwhile, the belief gives authentically the human to himself, believing is ascribable to excess. Finally, the specificity of Christian believing is not primarily and uniquely to examine the tenets of a creed but is in the act of believing : it is recognition of God and mercy to God who reveals himself by responding with the gift he gives. Believing, for the Christian, is interpreting his own life with and for others as the place where God is providing
Marin, Claire. "L'"activité obscure" dans la philosophie de Félix Ravaisson." Paris 4, 2003. http://www.theses.fr/2003PA040134.
Full textSpiralling down the path of habit, reflection encounters an "obscure activity" whose polysemy calls for hermeneutic exploration. This expression used by Ravaisson in L'habitude can be analysed on different levels. It can be understood as a reference to "the involuntary", a power at work in the silence and darkness of the body. The phenomenological dimension of Ravaisson's thought is revealed in the study of that specific form of activity in which habit takes over from the will. Ravaisson's care for a "subterranean life" is echoed in Paul Ricoeur's Le volontaire et l'involontaire. But the obscure activity also requires the cogito to be redefined, since it can also be interpreted as the underlying activity of consciousness, which predates that of clear and distinct intelligence. In the involuntary and in the subconscious, the immediateness of the action mirrors that of perfect activity. But it could also reflect the very activity of being. The obscure activity would then be paradigmatic insofar as it imitates and brings to light a tireless ontogical activity. It therefore allows a new questioning on the "ontological majoration of habit", in D. Janicaud's words, as well as brief incursions into the works of twentieth-century French philosophers, in which Ravaisson's thought has left a mark

Full textIn response to the question of the status of hermeneutics (philosophical interpretation) within a phenomenological scheme(system) of pure givenness [J. -L. Marion], two complementary and exemplary strategies of articulation between phenomenology and hermeneutics will be examined. It concerns the direct strategy of M. Heidegger in the ontology of the finite understanding of the Dasein and the indirect strategy of P. Ricoeur in the shattered ontology of the weakened Cogito. With regard to the first individual [M. Heidegger] the phenomenon par excellence is the withdrawal of the Being from the Dasein whichs remains in the dissimulation. The task of hermeneutics is to uveil phenomenologically the original layers of the Being of the Dasein. In the second case [ P. Ricoeur], the task of hermeneutics is to reach the identity (Ipseity) of the weakened Cogito by the interpretation of the signs and texts of its traditions and cultures. The weakened Cogito is the result of a deconstruction of transcendantal Ego which arises in existence through thought. Access to the identity (Ipseity) from the weakened Cogito can only occur indirectly through the interpretation of the signs and texts, in view of a good action, in fair institutions. The question concerning the relationship between phenomenology and hermeneutics in M. Heidegger and P. Ricoeur, will give us a certain number of parameters, criteria, rules, in order to explain the specificity of hermeneutics in the phenomenological scheme of pure givenness or of reduction to the pure form of appeal [J. -L. Marion]. If comprehension occupies a primordial place in the hermeneutic phenomenology of M. Heidegger and P. Ricoeur, then what is the status of the comprehension in the paradigm of the saturated phenomenon [J. -L. Marion] ?

Full textThis goal of this thesis is to investigate Ricoeur’s narrative theory as a whole. It has respectively the following four sets of questions as its research tasks. Firstly, what are the connotations of the notion of “narrative” in Ricoeur’s works? Secondly, what are the major problematics and features of Ricoeur’s narrative theory studies? Thirdly, if we consider “mediation” as its most outstanding characteristic, then shall we also define “mediation” regarding its function mechanism and theoretical foundation? At last, what role does narrative theory play in Ricoeur’s system of hermeneutic thoughts? This thesis attempts to answer the above-listed questions with the methodology of comprehensive, qualitative analysis that scrutinizes specific texts and keywords in a comparative perspective based on the hermeneutic analytical resources.This thesis consists of four parts. Chapter 1 discusses Ricoeur’s theory of discourse, which serves as the theoretical framework that enables a holistic view of the research object. Chapter 2 presents the basic structure of Ricoeur’s narrative theory, i.e. the “narrative circle” consisting of three stages of mimesis, in a comparison with “mimēsis” and “muthos” in Aristotle’s Poetics. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 respectively address the two major problems of this theory, i.e. temporality and subjectivity. The theoretical central core of this thesis lies on Chapter 3. Chapter 4 illustrates the notion of “narrative identity” regarding its background, connotation, and characteristics. Finally, the author concludes that Ricoeur’s narrative theory function as a mediating force in such a way that corresponds with his assertion of “hermeneutic detour”. To sum up, by examining the fundamental structure of narratives, the dialecticism between narrativity and temporality and that between narrativity and selfhood, this thesis demonstrates the mediating role that Ricoeur’s narrative theory plays in his hermeneutical thought system

Full textThe research tries to deals with some crucial questions presented by a sequence of important figures of the French contemporary phenomenological context (Lévinas, Ricoeur, Derrida, Henry and Marion). The analysis is developed in dialogue with the composite background of the French reception of the two phenomenological paradigms, Husserl's and Heidegger's one and in a critic discussion of Janicaud hermeneutic thesis exposed in his famous pamphlet "Le tournant théologique de la phénoménologie française". Throughout a path that goes by the "apories" of subjectivity, the paradoxes of temporality and the new configuration of phenomenality, the research presents a possible phenomenological way to one of the most traditional metaphysical instances, i. E. , the legitimacy of a philosophical "access" to God. Revoking the classical presupposes of rational theology and of onto-theology, the work shows how a new definition of the different dimensions of experience (subjectivity between corporeity and language, time between perception and memory, phenomenality between apparent and unapparent), analysed by the French authors of phenomenology, could be the field in which the philosophical approaches offered by phenomenology and metaphysics, face one another and dialogue each other. Finally, the research trail tries to give a different meaning - pursuing a sort of typical French phenomenological spirit to the famous Heidegger's words according to which "the provenience says always future"
Kuang, Quan. "Une ontologie de la liberté dans l'œuvre de Paul Ricoeur." Thesis, Strasbourg, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016STRAK010/document.
Full textOne of the persistent concerns of Paul Ricœur’s philosophy is to reflect upon the human being as being free. At the anthropological level, Ricœur always considers freedom within concrete human condition, in which nature, body, others and society are all involved. One’s freedom becomes real, affirming and powerful only when such condition is recognized. At the ontological level, it is only as a free being that one has the privileged access to the understanding of being in general. Human as free being reveals that being should not be understood as objectivity, but as an affirming act. Finally, at the methodological level, Ricœur’s elaboration of phenomenological hermeneutics constitutes an essential element of his ontology of freedom. From his methodological development, it can be seen that the thinking philosopher himself, as a free being, is also engaged in his inquiry. In this regard, Ricœur’s philosophy as such becomes an attestation of free being, especially in his confrontation with the enigma of evil

Full textClaimed by several authors such as Ricoeur, MacIntyre or Taylor, the narrative model of identity —which argues the narratives we tell define who we are— has been the target of much criticism in the academic literature over the last few decades. According to some of these critics, the concept of narrative identity is inherently conservative and a prime example of conflictual language. This discredit brought on narratives must be taken seriously in view of the specific nature of the inequalities that are evolving in Israel between Jewish Israelis and Palestinian Israelis and which we will propose to interpret as narrative inequalities. Does this mean that we have to get out of the narrative language? This is an alternative path that we will attempt to follow, by seeking to demonstrate that we can make an emancipatory use of narrative. By drawing on the work of Paul Ricoeur, our hypothesis is that it should be possible to accept some narrative premises without this leading to the conservative consequences of communitarianism. In the final stage of this work, I attempt to use the conceptual resources of narrativity as part of a broader discussion about ethnocultural justice in order to pave the way to a theoriticalpractical model for reducing narrative inequalities in Israel, which I call ‘multinarrativism’. Ultimately, the main purpose of this research is to show that the narrative model of identity is not merely compatible with the democratic requirement of respect for pluralism, but also provides important theoretical support for policies that aim to promote greater democratic inclusion of cultural minorities

Full textRicoeur’s philosophy shows us that there is not any comprehension of self without it being mediated by signs, symbols and texts; it can be, therefore, interpreted as a chance given to the African philosophy. In fact, if we estimate that the ethical field extends to all human domains and if we admit, like Ricoeur does, the synonymy between action and existence – “to say I am, means I want, I move, I do” – thus the traditional African, who hasn’t a systematical thinking as required by the Greek philosophy, but instead has developed a thinking of what he can do, can bring into the ethical discourse his modest contribution. In reality, his myths, his tales and sometimes his chants, all contain a message that is at the same time: practical, symbolical and philosophical, with a universal character. To enter into a tail is like entering inside one’s self

Full textTo our knowledge, Ricoeur and Gadamer may have never really discussed in their respective understanding of the nature and the hermeneutical task. It seems that this debate is desirable, even urgent. If Ricoeur has always shown great interest in the philosophical hermeneutics of the man he called "my master" and that he discussed the thesis, it is striking that Gadamer contents itself with vague allusions to hermeneutic stakes of the work of the French philosopher. It is our today's responsibility to define the framework of this dialogue and to determine the conditions of possibility. It is not clear, as argued by many studies, we should renew the challenge of this supposed spring fundamental debate: on the one hand, the conflict between the requirement of the methods and rules of interpretation only likely to ensure the scientific nature of the act of interpretation, and, on the other hand, the demand of an ontological aim originally referred to the phenomenon of understanding, in essence unable to escape without any opportunity to defend himself, the charge of subjective arbitrariness. Therefore, standing away from these assumptions - they are some reasons - this thesis suggests rather that the possibility of dialogue between Gadamer and Ricoeur is based on the ability to go before, and with great patience, along the detour borrowed by both hermeneutist: there is the dia-logue if, and only if, what it referred to is mediated by the "thing itself " which, we believe, is irreducible to the opposition between "method" and " non- method". Because the "thing itself» is defined as the Horizon towards which moves any interpretation or understanding trial. In this sense, we argue that Gadamer's notion of hermeneutic experience is his best ally in the Ricoeur's category of the appropriation of the world that the text unfolds and the reader discovers. In one as in the other, the fundamental issue is the quest for self-understanding of the "subject" that is to say, enlargement and increasing its horizon of meaning but whose relationship to history any way remains problematic. It's that on the one hand, self-understanding is not freedom from the foggy part of the story that makes us; on the other hand, it can be said only within the limit and within the constitutive historicity of our linguistic horizon
Lohöfer, Astrid. "Ehics and Lyric Poetry : Language as World-Disclosure in French Symbolism and Canadian Modernism." Thesis, Montpellier 3, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013MON30082.
Full textSituated in the context of the recent ethical turn in literary theory, this study examines the relationship between ethics and modernist poetry, arguing that the ethical implications of these texts are not only enriched by, but also inseparable from, the creative, unconventional use of language typical of this genre. The majority of studies in the field of ethical criticism either focus on the explicit transmission of moral values in novels and short stories, while ignoring the linguistic complexity at the heart of lyric utterance, or equate the ethics of literature, in a very generalized way, with purely aesthetic phenomena such asthe textual experience of alterity or undecidability, thereby bypassing the concrete ethical concerns of individual texts. In order to attain a more nuanced comprehension of the relationship between ethics and (modernist) poetry, I propose to view lyric language as a site of world-disclosure opening up new perspectives on ethical issues that remain veiled or hidden in ordinary speech. This idea has been elaborated by Martin Heidegger and Paul Ricoeur, whose writings on art and literature engage with the ways in which poetic texts break the constraints of institutionalized discourse and return language to its original, expressive power.

Mazabraud, Bertrand. "De la juridicité : approche de phénoménologie herméneutique." Thesis, Poitiers, 2013. http://www.theses.fr/2013POIT5009.
Full textAlthough everyone uses law in their daily life, no one seems to agree on juridicity. To approach juridicity, hermeneutic phenomenology, as practiced by Ricoeur, provides valuable milestones. On the one hand, hermeneutic phenomenology allows a dialogue with the positivist theories with the purpose of better explaining the structure of law, its objects (norms, institutions) and sequencing, though positivism remains incapable of explaining what establishes or authorizes such a structure (I). On the other, juridicity can be approached through its linguistic and hermeneutical modalities. In fact, law is the formulation of priority social meanings which, to be applied must be constantly amended and enriched. Legal hermeneutics is therefore understood as the dialectics between the invention of the fairest solution and its acceptability as per the existing law. However, if the legal reason is better understood, it cannot, on its own, validate the existence of a normative statement. To do that, it also requires the conventional device which enables to say what is law. Thus, whereas normativism leads to a primacy of law, legal hermeneutics lead to the primacy of the judge though the former presupposes the latter and vice versa (II). At the end, Ricoeur's philosophical hermeneutics brings back juridicity to the paradoxes of politics and ethics. Under political paradox, law is the means by which a historic community acquires the ability to decide. It is, thus, endowed with the authority to allow the sustainability of the concert of action which is at the heart of this community's existence. In the eyes of justice, on the other hand, law is understood as the exception that one can oppose to the indefinite solicitude which one owes to one's fellows. Hence the reason for the validity of the established legal statements is based on the tragedy of action, and can be understood as a presumption of moral and political validity (III)
