Mimetic Reflections – A Study in Hermeneutics, Theology, and Ethics

Autor William Schweiker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1989
This book argues that a basic problem in thinking about understanding, temporality, and selfhood is due to imitativemodes of thought found in much traditional Western philosophy and theology. Given this, the book examines the complex role that imageand imitationplay in understanding and its world of meaning, the import of language and narrative for configuring human temporality, and the existence of self. The author's contention is that when critically understood, mimesis, with its roots in performative enactment, holds resources for reconsidering these basic dimensions of human life beyond imitative paradigms of thought.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

The argument of this book is carried on at three interrelated levels. First, I contend that the problem of 'mimesis' helps to unfold dimensions of hermeneutical reflection. Second, the book attempts to reclaim the notion of mimesis as crucial for contemporary reflection. The final concern of this book is not simply to reconstruct mimesis and provide a reading of current thinkers.
