Ricœur's philosophy is rooted in which tradition?

  • Analytic

  • Logical Positivism

  • Hermeneutic Phenomenology

  • Existentialism

Answer

Hermeneutic Phenomenology, the philosophical tradition at the core of Ricœur's thought, emphasizes the interpretation and understanding of human existence and experience. This tradition views human beings as beings-in-the-world who construct meaning through their interactions and experiences. Ricœur's hermeneutic phenomenology focuses on the study of texts, symbols, and actions as meaningful expressions of human existence, aiming to uncover the deeper structures of understanding and interpretation that shape human life.
