Abstract:
Ricœur's idea of reference as refiguration : the non-descriptive reference of a literary work -- The truth as non-reference : the realist and anti-realist conception of reference -- Ricœur's concept of reference applied to theories of scientific realism and to historical texts : real versus unreal -- The universality of hermeneutic and narrative experience : Ricœur's narrative theory applied to science -- Ricœur's idea of metamorphoses of narrative plots -- The Idea of truth as non-reference in literature.
Abstract:
"This book investigates the importance of Ricoeur's hermeneutics and poetics in rethinking humanities. In particular, Ricoeur's insights on reference as refiguration and his idea of interpretation as a triadic process (which consists of mimesis 1 - prefiguration, mimesis 2 - configuration, and mimesis 3 - refiguration) will be applied to philosophy of science and to literary and historical texts. It will be shown that Ricoeur's idea of emplotment can be extended and applied to scientific, literary and historical texts. This multidisciplinary research will include philosophy of science, metaphysics, hermeneutics, and literary theory"--
