Theology as a challenge to (radical) hermeneutics

The article attempts to identify certain aspects of the theological heritage that can be found in the so-called radical hermeneutics – the contemporary mainstream of the hermeneutic thoughts, which is represented among others by Gianni Vattimo and John Caput. It implies: ontologising the very concept of interpretation (there are no facts, only interpretations); move away from objectivity to the interpretation of the interpretation of productive (i.e. co-create meanings of the text by a reader) and the primacy of ethics in the act of reading (interpretation as a response to the gist of the text, and not an attempt to impose appropriation or meanings). Both the idea of interpretation productive and conviction about the role of love (caritas) in the act of interpretation can be traced as far back in the patristic thought (respectively in the writings of St. Gregory the Great and St. Augustine). Especially in the late thought by Vattimo the interpretation of Christian dogma of the Incarnation in the spirit of radical hermeneutics also plays an important role, assuming that every meaning is „embodied” in the historical, finite forms and contexts.dr hab.

Advocatus hermeneuticae. (O „Obliczach hermeneutyki” Pawła Dybla)

ADVOCATUS HERMENEUTICAE. ON PAWEŁ DYBEL´S OBLICZA HERMENEUTYKI (FACES OF HERMENEUTICS) Oblicza hermeneutyki (Faces of Hermeneutics) by Paweł Dybel covers many important problems of contemporary hermeneutics and can be read in many ways. First of all, it is an apology of hermeneutics and an attempt to define a hermeneutical model of understanding as opposed to some other models developed by, mostly, psychoanalysis and the so-called hermeneutics of suspicion. Secondly, Dybel tries to show specific features of hermeneutic thinking by situating hermeneutics between philosophy and human sciences. His own vision of hermeneutics is shaped mostly by Gadamers’s idea of understanding as dialogue, conversation, mediation. The author also outlines the history of filological hermeneutics, from Luther to some contemporary theorists and investigates certain ethical and anthropological issues of hermeneutics

Du texte au contexte

Inspirée par deux tendances prédominantes : la phénoménologie (dont le représentant le plus important a été Roman Ingarden, disciple de Husserl et fondateur de la théorie phénoménologique de l’œuvre littéraire, centrée sur la structure intentionnelle de l’œuvre et sa concrétisation par le lecteur) et le structuralisme (y compris les influences venues du formalisme russe, de l’École de Prague, ainsi que des recherches polonaises menées avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale), la théorie de la littérature en Pologne s’est développée très rapidement dans les années 60 et 70. Elle s’est intéressée à la structure de l’œuvre littéraire (versologie, stylistique, narration, communication littéraire, poétique descriptive et historique).Au contraire après 1989, le champ théorique est profondément reconfiguré, la perspective formelle, immanente, cédant la place, après la période de domination de la pensée structuraliste, à l’analyse des contextes culturels, politiques et économiques, des déterminations idéologiques et des diverses formes du pouvoir symbolique dans lesquelles fonctionne la littérature, qui n’est plus conçue comme structure ou texte, mais comme discours social qui réfléchit et, en même temps, forme la réalité historique. Le poststructuralisme français, l’herméneutique, le pragmatisme et les Cultural studies américaines, les études féministes et postcolonialistes : tels sont les instruments théoriques privilégiés aujourd’hui, par la majorité des chercheurs polonais.Polish literary theory developed very quickly in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Its main field of research is structure of literary works, including versology, stylistics, narrative, literary communication, descriptive and historical poetics. It was mostly inspired by phenomenology and Roman Ingarden, a disciple of Husserl and founder of phenomenological theory of literary work, which focused on the intentional structure of literary work and its concretization by readers. The second important source of inspiration for Polish literary theory was structuralism, including Russian Formalism, the Prague Circle and original Polish literary researches before the Second World War. After 1989 the entire field of literary theory in Poland was deeply changed. Formalist perspective was replaced by research concentrated on broad cultural, political, and economical contexts of literature, its ideological determinations as well as forms of symbolic power reflected in a literary work. Literature itself is no more treated as structure or text, but rather as discourse, reflecting and at the same time forming social reality. Analytical tools are mainly provided by French poststructuralist theory, hermeneutics, pragmatism, American cultural studies, feminism and postcolonialism

Osłabianie Nietzschego

The essay deals with Vattimo's interpretation of Nietzsche in the context of contemporary critical discussion concerning Nietzsche's heritage in the modern philosophy. In his early book II soggetto e la maschera. Nietzche e la problema della liberazione (1974) Vattimo tries to picture Nietzsche as a philosopher of emancipation, who announces both social liberation of humanity from political oppression and domination, and cultural liberation of the symbolical domain (values, symbols, senses) from metaphysics and its categories like substance, essence, stable, immutable being. In his later essays on Nietzsche, gathered in the volume entitled Dialogo eon Nietzsche, Vattimo concentrates on hermeneutical aspects of Nietzsche's philosophy and shows his influence on contemporary philosophical hermeneutics and theory of interpretation

Symploke jako figura Platońskiej mimesis

SYMPLOKE AS A FIGURE OF MIMESIS IN PLATO’S PHILOSOPHYThe essay Symploke as a figure of mimesis in Plato’s philosophy is an attempt to reconstruct two different models of mimesis in Plato’s thought. The first model (Repulic) is ontological and based on the notion of truth as manifestation of real being (eidos or physis). Here, a copy or imitation is but a non-being, an appearance, or „a weak being” that participates in the true being only to a very small extent. The second model (The Sophist) is epistemological and based on the notion of truth as resemblance between an object and a copy. Here, an image is good if it is perfectly similar to the object it represents. Both models of mimesis cannot be treated separately. Their subtle interpenetration can be seen in the Platonic figure of symploke (a „plexus”) from The Sophist, in which being and non-being, truthfulness and falsity unexpectedly show their paradoxical unity

Scriptura aliquo modo cum legentibus crescit. Idea interpretacji nieskończonej i jej chrześcijańskie źródła

The article presents an attempt to trace, in the tradition of Christian hermeneutics, the origin of an idea which plays an important role in the entire modern hermeneutical discourse, namely – the idea of infinite interpretation. Today, it is regarded as a feature of radical (Vattimo), post-structuralist (Foucault) hermeneutics which questions, in many ways and starting from different traditions of thought and with different premises, the belief that the meaning of a text is univocal, given once and for all, closed, and the work of an interpreter is only limited to its extraction, unambiguous understanding, reconstruction
