Lire, interpréter, déconstruire : de Machiavel à Gadamer

Lire un texte, ce n’est pas extraire des données : c’est entrer dans un dialogue avec lui, examiner ses présupposés, ses non-dits et sa grammaire. De Ricœur à Derrida, de Wittgenstein à Gadamer, le sens apparaît comme une relation vivante, jamais comme une évidence brute. #Hermeneutics #Deconstruction #Wittgenstein #Gadamer #Philosophy L’idée de départ est simple : lire n’est pas consommer de l’information, mais…

#Wittgenstein shows up, too:

1) Apparently he doodled faces while teaching and writing & occasionally used them in class. The article gives a nice example where Wittgenstein uses a doodle to parse how we detach faces from facial expressions -- "a face 'has' a particular expression" -- at least in theory.

2) His comment on the #MonaLisa: "When we speak of the enigmatic smile of the Mona Lisa, that may well mean that we ask ourselves: In what situation, in what story, might one smile like that?"

Es gibt Gespräche, die man führt und danach das Gefühl hat, gar nicht wirklich anwesend gewesen zu sein. Man hat Worte gesagt, Gedanken geordnet, vielleicht sogar präzise formuliert, und trotzdem ist das Wesentliche irgendwo auf der Strecke geblieben. Nicht aus Nachlässigkeit. Nicht aus Schweigen.

Che cosa esprime il #silenzio? Nella letteratura, nelle pratiche religiose, nell’esperienza estetica e in molti altri ambiti, il silenzio assume forme e significati diversi. Il nuovo numero tematico di #Lebenswelt esplora l’assenza di suono da una prospettiva fenomenologica e in differenti contesti, attingendo al lavoro di #Wittgenstein e #Nietzsche come di #Deleuze e #Guattari

You can tell #Kuhn is thinking of #Wittgenstein, PI here: "to imagine a language means to imagine a form of life." This is from "Scientific Knowledge as Historical Product," 1977, first essay in The Essential Tension and also in The Last Writings of Thomas S. Kuhn.
