Reading Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences | Alexandria
Read Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences by Paul Ricoeur. Bridging philosophy and science, Ricoeur's revolutionary insight unravels how we make meaning - not through pure reason, but via symbols, stories, and metaphor. His radical claim? Self-understanding requires a detour through cultural interpretation. By fusing phenomenology with linguistics, he reveals why true insight demands embracing paradox.
