I posted a bunch about this maybe six months ago. Paul Ricoeur probably comes as close as anybody to being a North Star of the folks I’ve read, but some of the people you’d think would be better at this really aren’t. Walter Ong is a profound guy but also profoundly wrong about reading

naturally this is no reason to utopianize an anti-utopian quietism. Ricoeur is great on this pitfall.

I demonstrate how temporal categories readily demarcate the problem of ontological imbalance so central in Gadamer’s philosophical project, a demarcation that removes any illusion of compatibility between Gadamer and the hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur.

The era of well-known philosophers is coming to an end. Badiou, Meillassoux, Taylor, Sloterdijk, Nussbaum, Habermas, MacIntyre, Agamben, Ricœur, Han, Butler and perhaps one or two more are likely the last ones. There are no successors.

J'ai fait perdre un groupe d'amis à Trivial Pursuit car à la question "Quel était le prénom du fondateur de l'entreprise de pastis Ricard ?", alors que tout le monde, moi y compris, voulait répondre Paul, j'ai pensé que c'était un piège car c'était Paul Ricœur et que donc ça devait être André.

È un po’ di tempo che scrivo cose sulla memoria. Cose che passano da mia nonna che scappa dalle bombe ai saggi di Paul Ricoeur. Mi capita spesso, di distrarmi nei ricordi di ciò che ho amato, e sono finito a pensare a questa foto. Così, senza ragione apparente.

Aucune œuvre n'est neutre, c'est vrai, mais aucune interprétation ne l'est non plus. Ricœur écrivait que l'œuvre trouvait son aboutissement, sa réalisation, dans la lecture qui en était faite. On est dans un conflit d'interprétation et on ne s'en sortira pas en nous bornant à dire qu'ils sont cons

Emmanuel Macron, gendre idéal de la ploutocratie française, tellement rongé par l'hubris qu'il pourrait prétendre à la paternité de la notion. Fort avec les faibles, faible avec les forts, depuis son palais d'or dur. Petit despote capricieux qui confond Ricœur et Orwell en égrenant des platitudes.

En s'appuyant sur la pensée de Ricœur, J. Michel propose de transposer l'herméneutique comme méthode d'interprétation des textes au domaine des arts visuels. Mais que risque-t-on à transformer le visible en lisible ?

*Paul Ricoeur has entered the chat*
It frustrates me when online Bible scholars imply, if not outright say, that a text’s *real* meaning is the one it would have had for its original author or audience.
That’s its own kind of univocality, and it’s not how texts work!

welp, for sure the most engaging piece i've read about GPTs (beyond tech exposition of their mechanics).
i will never be a Foucault (or Sellars) fan like i'm a Ricoeur (or Davidson) fan. so there are lots of places for me to hang back w "woo." but, damn, good stuff.

I'm not making a positive claim about the architecture here. If you want to know my own thoughts about LLMs you can get them elsehere (deontologistics.substack.com/p/computatio...). I'm saying this purported proof does not absolve anyone from having to look at empirical outcomes.

C'est vrai. De formation, je suis emprunte de culture hellénistique antique, avec un faible pour les philosophes comme Spinoza ou Ricoeur. Si je garde ce mot "matérialisme" c'est parce que ma propre pensée a été fortement touchée par les matérialistes grecs.

Jag tycker att det är ganska begripligt även om det är olyckligt på många sätt. Det finns en viss likhet mellan den marxka och freudianska ansatsen som Ricœur kallar "misstänksamhetens hermeneutik". Båda vägrar ta de givna kategorierna som sådana och försöker undersöka vilken dynamik som ligger
