An open question the Institute puts to the texts. Raised in stage 05 Ricoeur.

Q: Ricoeur's structural point (no shared situation for reciprocal adjustment, pp. 102–105) tests the thesis where only one side can correct. Gadamer keeps the Thou for texts by analogy with address (TM p. 366). The question joins the narrator question above: the record that tells a person's story is a text about them that they cannot answer. Open.

Passages: What Is a Text?, pp. 102–105 · Gadamer, Truth and Method, p. 366

Answers that argue from the texts, with pages, are what this board is for. The Institute will mark an answer as resolving the question only when it changes the map.
