  • An Introduction to Paul Ricoeur's Philosophy of Action
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Volume 7 • Number 11 • November 2017 Why the Reality is Not Totalisable: An Introduction to Paul Ricoeur’s Philosophy of Action Vinicio Busacchi Associate Professor of Theoretical Philosophy University of Cagliari Via Is Mirrionis 1 – 09100 Cagliari, Italy Abstract This article the matises Ricoeur’s speculative parcours around the philosophy of action. It starts by offering a perspective on French (Continental) philosophy’s contribution to the Philosophy of Action. The roles played by Sartre and Merleau-Ponty’s existential phenomenology, and the Structure lists are particularly emphasised, including references to Ricoeur’s speculative researches. These Ricoeurian developments can be connected under a general anthropological perspective, creating a double (productive) implication: (1) to recognise a new interpretative key for the Ricoeurian parcours, and (2) to find a new (Ricoeurian) way to defend the idea of the gnoseological and epistemological impossibility that considers the reality of the world as a comprehensive knowledge. Keywords: Action, Reality, Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, Anthropology Introduction Philosophy of action’s continued significance and use in contemporary French philosophy primarily depends on the phenomenological (phenomenological-existential) tradition, as well as philosophical hermeneutics and structuralism. Within this framework, philosophy of action is defined as a broad inter-discipline or inter- dominion, ranging from the general practical philosophy to existentialism, and covering such diverse fields as pragmatism, philosophy of mind and language, structuralism and linguistics, anthropology, sociology, and beyond. The general philosophy of action had its first speculative articulation in the Francophone area. The philosophical-religious work carried out in the mid-nineteenth century by Léon Ollé-Laprune and Maurice Blondel turned the focus of the field to the moral idealism of action (Fichte).

We will pay close attention this semester to the relationship between the self and others. We will look at the debates that followed the rediscovery of Ancient philosophy and the Copernican revolution with Descartes’ rationalist and individualistic philosophy, Condillac’s empiricist critique, whose role for language brings the self into a web of social relations, and the growing recognition of the problem of society with Rousseau. We will then look at Henri Bergson’s reaction to the rise of the empirical sciences in the 19th century and especially at his distinction between the deep self and the social self. We will deepen our appreciation of the issues Bergson highlights with readings from René Girard and Jean Baudrillard, and we will look for possible solutions in Alexandre Kojève’s reading of Hegel and in Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir’s distinctive development of existentialism. ● No prerequisites ● Lecture Tuesday 5 to 6:30pm, recitation sections Thursday 3-4:30pm and 5-6:30pm ● NYU Paris, room TBD Course Overview and Goals Upon Completion of this Course, students will be able to: ● get a sense of the historical evolution of philosophy since the 16th-century, ● see how French philosophers developed some of the key ideas and movements in that history ● identity and debate important issues philosophers still discuss today ● learn how to assess the strength and weaknesses of arguments, ● engage in constructive philosophical discussion, give reasons, and raise objections, Page 1 ● perfect their skills in argumentative writing.

From Kant to Hilbert: French philosophy of concepts in the beginning of the twentieth century Brunschvicg thus proposed to separate out the critical attitude from the Kantian canvas of a priori forms of intuition and categories of reason.1 Furthermore, he presented this attitude in a positivist light, insisting, like Auguste Comte (1798–1857), on the necessity of starting from the actual fact of science, and drawing philosophical lessons from its history. In place of the determination of the conditions of the possibility of knowledge in general, Brunschvicg substituted a kind of half-historical, half-philosophical, enquiry into the development of par- ticular sciences.

This period of epistemic rupture in Spain and her colonies, commonly referred to as the Enlightenment, not only presented new ways of knowing, but inspired impassioned debates among leading intellectuals about the epistemology and philosophy that continued throughout the century.
