Details

The 2016 Summer School in German Philosophy at Bonn University will focus on what Paul Ricoeur has dubbed “the hermeneutics of suspicion,” that is, a sort of critical deepening of traditional hermeneutics according to which beneath the surface meanings of texts, discourse, and other forms of expression on which traditional hermeneutics has focused there lies a deeper level of meaning, purpose, or function that typically contradicts that surface level and which moreover serves perfidious or at least questionable ends. The hermeneutics of suspicion can be seen as an investigation of the extent to which we are warranted in trusting the surface meaning of socially relevant forms of expression. The prime examples of this “hermeneutics of suspicion” are Marx’s theory of ideology, Nietzsche’s method of genealogy, and Freud’s psychoanalysis (in its exploration of the unconscious).
