Abstract

BLANCO ILARI, Juan. Belonging and distancing: the place of Ricoeur in contemporary hermeneutics. Estud. filos. práct. hist. ideas [online]. 2013, vol.15, n.2, pp.57-70. ISSN 1851-9490.

The hermeneutics has been one of the most important philosophical movements in the last years. However, the heterogeneity of his followers makes it difficult to establish a unit in the contemporary hermeneutics. Ricoeur was one of the most important representatives of this philosophical line. In this paper I want to show how Ricoeur positioned himself in the contemporany hermeneutics. I focus my analysis in his attempt to combine the discovery of our "belonging" (the history, tradition) with our constitutive "distancing" of this belonging. Ricoeur found the "dialectical" relation between belonging-distanciation in the phenomenological concept: Lebenswelt. The "world of life" has an ontological and epistemological moment. From here, I place the ricoeurian hermeneutics in the core of the contemporary debate in hermeneutics: showing his originality.

Keywords : Belonging; Distancing; Ricoeur.
