The Constitution of the World of Text and Its Interpretive Self-Appropriation:on Ricoeur's Hermeneutics of Text
The author-oriented romantic hermeneutics of the 19th century and the interpretation-ori-ented ontological hermeneutics of the 20th century focused on meaning and truth rather than text analysis.The text theory of the 20th century emphasized text analysis but rejected the interpretation of meaning.Paul Ricoeur argued that the previous tendency of interpretative theory constituted an"impasse"in herme-neutics.Ricoeur critically integrated the insights of hermeneutics and text theory,believing that the au-tonomy of text and the referentiality of text organically constituted the world of text,and proposing to move towards a hermeneutics of text,which was an important contribution of Ricoeur's hermeneutic re-o-rientation.However,Ricoeur's view of returning to the world of text and reconstructing the meaning of the text failed to fully explore the complexity of the recontextualization of hermeneutic self-appropriation,limiting the initiative and creativity of the interpretive subject,thus closing the larger and richer possibili-ty space that the hermeneutics of text should have.Ricoeur's hermeneutics of text is of great significance for the study of hermeneutics of Chinese literature today,and the problems of his hermeneutics also de-serve rational discussions.
