FILO-4260 Seminario Hermenéutica y Retórica
There are diverse similarities between the subjects and the fundamental postulates of hermeneutic philosophy and those of rhetorical discipline. These similarities may be given because of either coincidences in perspective, or concrete influences during their historical development. In any case, studying the essential problems of hermeneutics in the light of the rhetorical discipline’s assumptions, and the other way around, proves to be not only useful for a better comprehension of both disciplines, but also an undertaking which contemporary philosophy has tried to take with, alas, few concrete results. The seminar’s method will consist of contrasting texts belonging to both traditions, in order to find their conceptual affinities and, if possible, a historical bond (influences of some authors on others, conceptual evolution, etc.).
