Paul Ricoeur on Analogies - Dictionary of Arguments
I 29 Analogy/Symbol/Interpretation/Ricoeur: [There is a tradition of symbol definitions that is too narrow]: it consists in characterizing the bond between meaning and sense in the symbol through the analogy. For example, analogies between stain and defilement, between deviation and sin, between burden and sinfulness; [in general] in a sense, the analogy between the physical and the existential. I 44 In this connection from sense to sense lies what I have called the fullness of language. This fullness consists in the fact that the second sense is, so to speak, inherent in the first sense. >Symbol/Eliade. But when we say this, have we not already violated the phenomenological "neutrality"? I admit it. I admit that what lies in the depth of that interest in full language, in bound language motivates to find that reversal of the movement of the I 45 thought is what "turns" to me and makes me the called subject. And this reversal takes place in the analogy. To what extent does that what binds the meaning to the meaning bind me? [It binds me] in that the movement which leads me to the second sense makes me conform to what has been said; [it] makes me share in what has been proclaimed to me. The similarity in which the power of the symbol lies and to which it owes its revealing power is not, in fact, an objective agreement that I could consider as a relationship spread out before me; it is an existential alignment of my being with [the] being, according to the movement of analogy._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
