Philosophical reflection as hermeneutics

Patrick Bourgeois

pp. 97-112

So far Ricœur's pure reflection, basic theory of symbols, conflict of interpretation, and hermeneutics have been presented. This chapter will have to explicate his deepening movement; therefore, the main purpose of this chapter is to show what the influences of Jean Nabert and Sigmund Freud have for Ricœur's view of reflection. Each of these in turn brought about an alteration in his reflective philosophy, both in relation to his movement to concrete reflection, as well as in his view of pure reflection. (CI, 260) We must see first how Nabert changed his view of reflective philosophy and then how Freud deepened this changed view.
