O estatuto de uma Hermenêutica Filosófica e seu enriquecimento para Hermenêutica Bíblica em Paul Ricoeur

Abstract

The following research intends to understand the statute of the Philosophical Hermeneutics introduced to us by Paul Ricoeur in Oneself as Another and from this examine the philosophical contribution in Biblical Hermeneutics bestowed by the French author in his writings on religious subjects. We see this author‟s work as a unique and dynamic project in which the author executes his thinking using great areas of knowledge, such as psychoanalysis, history, and even theology. That way, the task proposed in our research becomes not only possible but necessary, since we do not see the French author‟s dynamic side as a source of independent and incommunicable projects. Thus, making us believe that the thinking in Paul Ricoeur's philosophical writings are similar to his writings on religious themes. However, we believe that this author does not reduce theology to an anthropology and also does not leave aside the autonomy of philosophical discourse, as a philosopher he offers a path for enrichment, through an ontology of action, for the theological vision.
