History and Truth: Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy

Autor Paul Ricoeur Cuvânt înainte de David M. Rasmussen Introducere de Charles A. Kelbley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2007
In this volume, Paul Ricoeur investigates the antinomy between history and truth, or between historicity and meaning. He argues that history has meaning insofar as it approaches universality and system, but has no meaning insofar as this universality violates the singularity of individuals' lives. Imposing unity upon truth, or unifying the diversity of knowledge and opinion, creates a singular and universal history but destroys historicity and subjectivity. Allowing for singularities in history promotes a multiplicity of truths over a single, unique truth, and thereby annihilates system
