La philosophie herméneutique est présentée en général comme une phénoménologie de la compréhension et une ontologie de l’existence et du langage humains. En cela, son potentiel analytique et critique de la réalité sociale et politique est limité. Néanmoins, certains des textes tardifs de Hans-Georg Gadamer tentent de traduire ces approches ontologiques en réflexions concrètes sur la praxis humaine dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Ils construisent alors les bases d’une véritable philosophie sociale et politique à vocation éminemment critique. À travers les notions (...) d’amitié et de solidarité que l’auteur développe dans ses dernières années, cet article examine ce tournant politique de l’herméneutique. (shrink)

Largamente desatendida o malinterpretada, la noción de caos en la filosofía de Nietzsche es una pieza constitutiva de la particular concepción del ser que este autor habría dejado apenas esbozada. El artículo se propone elaborar este concepto en la obra nietzscheana, siguiendo algunas de las metáforas que lo iluminan (las estrellas,el texto y el mundo). Desde allí se busca plantear los rasgos centrales de una ontología del caos, de sesgo no metafísico, que, al afirmar el carácter acontecimental de larealidad, puede (...) verse como precursora de la ontología hermenéutica contemporánea.

El debate entre la filosofía hermenéutica de Hans Georg Gadamer y la deconstrucción de Jacques Derrida está lejos de haber concluido. A la luz de Carneros, el texto poco estudiado aún de la conferencia leída por Derrida en memoria de Gadamer, pretendemos reanudar aquí el intenso diálogo entre estos dos pensadores emblemáticos de la filosofía continental de finales del siglo pasado. Partiendo de las distintas significaciones que en cada caso toman nociones como ‘diálogo’ o ‘mundo’, pero también de la manera (...) diversa como cada uno de ellos interpreta la filosofía platónica o la poesía de Paul Celan, nos proponemos iluminar el profundo desacuerdo ontológico y ético que existe entre las dos propuestas. La cuestión del otro, central para ambos autores, se mostrará al final como el punto donde se condensan y agudizan las tensiones entre ellos. (shrink)

It is commonly argued that Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutics rests upon a criticism of the method of natural sciences that, by establishing a monopoly of what might be deemed as true knowledge, would exclude different forms of non-scientific experiences of truth. Thus, the article aims first at examining this assumption based on an analysis of his hermeneutic dialectics and ontology of language, which he develops in the third part of Truth and Method. This analysis reveals that his criticism of scientific method (...) rests upon the idea that the being is related to the happening of meaning and of human beings as individuals whose understanding of the world is questioned and caused by such happening. These ontological approaches make possible to characterize what might be thetrue method of thinking and access to truth. Secondly, the article aims at identifying three methodologicalprinciples that would guide a genuine exercise of hermeneutic thinking: a) The principle of determining the topos of understanding, which demands to reveal the relations of meaning that connect us to what we desire to understand; b) Principle of correction, which makes possible that understanding continuously “improves” both our interpretations and self-descriptions that actors provide of their own actions; and c) Principle of sensitivity towards happening, which demands to carefully listen to every possible relation of meaning that shape phenomena, as well as to the variations and mutations of meaning they experience.

Pese a la evidente distancia que separa a los proyectos filosóficos de Hegel y Nietzsche se ha venido poniendo en evidencia un terreno compartido desde el cual ambos autores hacen frente común contra los excesos de una modernidad ilustrada que renegó de la historia y de la tradición en nombre de una conciencia subjetiva concebida como el núcleo incondicionado de la realidad. El presente ensayo pretende contribuir a este acercamiento entre estos dos presuntos antagonistas mostrando que en sus doctrinas se (...) alcanza una profunda intelección sobre la temporalidad fundamental que está a la base de la naturaleza esencialmente histórica de la existencia y la experiencia humana. Desde este punto de referencia común, articulado también en ambos casos con ayuda de las nociones de “recuerdo” y “olvido”, se busca generar aquí un diálogo vivo y lleno de tensiones entre Hegel y Nietzsche, críticos de la Modernidad.

“History, forgetfulness and remembrance in Hegel and Nietzsche”. Albeit the evident distance between Hegel´s and Nietzsche´s philosophical projects, there is a shared terrain from which both authors respond to the excesses of modern illustration, which reacted against history and tradition, in the name of a subjective conscious understood as the unconditioned nucleus of reality. This paper wants to contribute to show how close to each other are this so called antagonists, showing that in their doctrines there is an intuition about (...) the fundamental temporality that lies in human existence and experience. From this common point of view, articulated in both cases with the notions of “remembrance” and “forgetfulness”, it is the purpose to generate a living dialogue, however full of tensions, between Hegel and Nietzsche, as critics of Modernity.

Nietzsche's reflection on art extends throughout his philosophical work. From the early claim of an “artist's metaphysics” to the late considerations that see in art the privileged form of the Will to Power, Nietzsche makes his attempt to overcome western metaphysics to depend on a particular ontological conception of the artistic fact. This ontological aestheticism, of enormous influence in current philosophical trends, has been the subject of various comments and criticisms. Less interest has raised instead the analysis of the implications (...) that this long nietzschean meditation concerning art can have in the interior of the aesthetic field itself: what is the specificity of art compared with other fields of human action? What results for the individual and for culture from the encounter with the phenomenon of art? This article constitutes a first attempt to answer these questions. Its analysis focuses in The Birth of Tragedy and, to a lesser extent, in the physiology of art found in the Twilight of the Idols. The article's central thesis defends that, according to Nietzsche, the aesthetical experience is essentially an experience of knowledge, a type of knowledge that gives access to truth. (shrink)

ABSTRACT The notion of chaos, which has long been neglected or misinterpreted, is a constitutive element of a peculiar conception of being that the philosopher only had time to outline. The objective of this article is to elaborate on this concept in Nietzschean philosophy, guided by some of the metaphors that shed light on it. This serves as the basis to set forth the main characteristics of a non-metaphysical ontology of chaos that asserts the eventful nature of reality and can thus be seen as a precursor of contemporary hermeneutic ontology.
