Ricœur

What Dominique Pagani says

What Dominique Pagani mainly takes from Ricœur is two phrases. The first, "Kantianism without a transcendental subject", describes Lévi-Strauss's system and, more broadly, structuralism. He returns to it several times between 2019 and 2025, notably in connection with Foucault and with Clouscard's reply to Morilhat12. The second is a pun: "aporia is an aperitif", meaning that it sets one on the path of inquiry. He quotes it in 2015, then in 2021 and 20243, and he also recommends Ricœur's course on Plato and Aristotle. He presents Ricœur as the philosopher of meaning par excellence, the anti-Hegel and the most complete representative of a non-Hegelian existence. Yet he considers that the opening of De l'interprétation (Freud and Philosophy) perfectly describes the phenomenological approach to self-expression45. He credits him with a remark about Hegel, who is said to have foreshadowed today's anthropology of funeral rites. Elsewhere he is harsher: he calls him a "great void" and finds his preface to Arendt's The Human Condition hagiographic6.
