An Institute doubt about its own position. Raised in stage 05 Ricoeur.

Q: The Institute asks whether both ordinary and metaphorical attribution already presuppose the relation to the world that we want to explain. Ricoeur’s discussion of plenitude (1981, p. 176) is a test for this reading. We have yet to establish from that passage that meaningful correspondence precedes metaphor.

Passages: Metaphor and the Central Problem of Hermeneutics, p. 176 (1981)

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.
