L'esperienza ermeneutica del verbum in corde. Heidegger, Gadamer e Ricoeur interpreti di Agostino.
Get PDFLa nozione di verbo interiore ha suscitato notevole interesse nel dibattito filosofico-ermeneutico contemporaneo, in particolare nella suo accezione agostiniana di verbum in corde. Il merito è da attribuirsi soprattutto alla riabilitazione proposta da Gadamer nella terza parte di Wahrheit und Methode e agli studi proseguiti a tal proposito da Jean Grondin. Se nell’ambito della filosofia analitica tale nozione rinvia al problema della struttura linguistica del pensiero, nell’ermeneutica filosofica il verbo interiore rimanda al problema della sussistenza del circolo ermeneutico. La tesi di Grondin è che, riabilitando l’agostiniano verbo interiore, Gadamer abbia voluto difendere l’aspirazione all’universalità dell’ermeneutica. Più in generale, il verbum in corde è l’adeguato paradigma per ogni ermeneutica dalla veemenza ontologica. D’accordo con quest’ipotesi, lo studio insegue e trova, pur secondo gradi diversi, la nozione agostiniana di verbo interiore lungo le principali tappe evolutive dell’ermeneutica veritativa, che sono Heidegger, Gadamer e Ricœur. In disaccordo con Grondin, tuttavia, la ricerca non intende il verbum in corde come segno del dialogo che si trova dietro a ogni enunciato. Il verbo interiore, in particolare nella sua accezione agostiniana, parla molto più del monologo, di Dio o dell’essere, che irrompe oltre ogni dialogo ben riuscito. Di conseguenza, la ricerca utilizza la nozione non più come mise en abyme della circolarità ermeneutica tra il detto e il suo orizzonte non-detto di verità, ma come perno critico delle pretese ermeneutiche di verità come svelamento. Lo scopo è quello di mettere in luce i limiti di una filosofia che non crede fino in fondo alla sua stessa effettività e che finisce per dare corso a un’attitudine passiva e rinunciataria di fronte ai propri compiti.The classical concept of inner word – as Augustinian verbum in corde in particular – had a certain impact on philosophical hermeneutics. Gadamer has vaguely treated it in the third part of Truth and Method and Jean Grondin has gone deeper into the subject. In the analytic context, the inner word concerns especially the debate about the linguistic structure of thought. On the continental scene instead, it refers to the hermeneutical circle and its possibility to be not vicious. According to Grondin, Gadamer had the intention, rehabilitating the concept, to defend hermeneutics’ ambitions to universality. More generally, the Augustinian verbum in corde is the adequate paradigm for hermeneutics’ ontological vehemence. On the one hand, this study agrees with Grondin’s hypothesis. Traces of the concept are found in Heidegger, Gadamer and Ricœur, i.e. along the main axes of the ontological hermeneutics. On the other hand, however, the verbum in corde is not defined here as the sign of the dialogue always existing behind any sentence, as Grondin does. According to Augustine’s De Trinitate and a protestant tradition after it, the verbum in corde is understood here as the sign of the donum dei, God’s – or Being’s – monologue always persisting behind any (good) human speech act. The concept of inner word works in this essay as critical pivot for the hermeneutical pretentions of truth as unveiling. The aim is to denounce the limits of a philosophical tradition that does not really believe in its own effectiveness and that privileges a passive and renunciative attitude in front of its duties
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Digital Traceability and the Right to be Forgotten
No full textThe goal of this article is to show how Ricoeur’s perspective on traces could be used in the current debate on digital traces and the “right to beforgotten” — the recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union according to which people have the right, under certain conditions, to ask search engines like Google to remove results for queries that include their name. In the first section, the author discusses Ricoeur’s unexpected “love for technology.” In particular, he shows how externalizations — i.e. methods, techniques and technologies—have been at the heart of Ricoeur’s hermeneutical reflections. In the second section, he takes into account Ricoeur’s considerations on traces and memory in Memory, History, Forgetting as potential replies to the several issues posed by digital traceability. The hypothesis is that Ricoeur’s perspective, and especially his motto “you are better than your actions,” could represent an ethical integration of both the juridical imposition of the European Court of Justice and the technical–moral solutions suggested by authors such as Luciano Floridi and Viktor Mayer–Schönberger

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Towards a Posthuman Hermeneutics
Get PDFInternational audienceThe aim of this article is threefold. The first section deals with traditional hermeneutic anthropocentrism, focusing in particular on Dilthey and Heidegger and their reflections on nature and animals. For both of them, although from different perspectives, interpretatio naturae (interpretation of nature) is no more than a figurative expression. In the second section, recent developments in the emerging fields of environmental hermeneutics and biohermeneutics are accounted for. In particular, the author distinguishes between two main attitudes. Some researchers have argued that nature might be considered as an object of interpretation. Others have said that nature can also be seen as a proper subject of interpretation. In the third section, the ideas developed in the context of environmental hermeneutics and biohermeneutics are “translated” into the field of digital technologies. The author presents “digital hermeneutics” as an emerging field in which three levels can be isolated: (1) a level “zero,” at which hermeneutics (especially the Heideggerian version) has been used to mark a clear distinction between humans and nonhumans (machines); (2) a level “one,” at which the interpretation is considered the result of the articulation between human and nonhuman intentionalities; and (3) a level “two” that is still emerging and that would consist of wondering if it is legitimate to attribute autonomous interpretational agency to digital technologies, or at least to part of them

The ineffectiveness of hermeneutics. Another Augustine’s legacy in Gadamer
No full textInternational audienceThis article builds on Gadamer's rehabilitation of the Augustinian concept of inner word (ver-bum in corde). Unlike most interpretions, the thesis is that the Augustinian inner word does not show the potentialities, but rather the ineffectiveness of ontological hermeneutics. In the first section, it is argued that for the later Augustine the verbum in corde is the consequence of a Word-and Truth-event. In the second section, the author suggests that Gadamer has properly understood the verbum in corde as a matter of faith. In the third section, it is shown that Gadamer has found in the notion a paradigm for his philosophical and theological insights. Concerning the former, he has always been fascinated by the evenemential character of the 'second' Heidegger's thought. Concerning the latter, Gadamer has explicitly accused Bult-mann's demythologization of being 'human, all too human', and he has implicitly praised Barth's dialectical theology
