Skrócony opis: |
Lingually oriented phenomenological hermeneutics reminds us that human life is a hermeneutic existence: existentia hermeneutica. To be means to interpret. And what needs to be understood is not only a particular written expression, but the totality of human life. The art of education is the art of telling our story on the way to ourselves. |
Pełny opis: |
In our attempt to understand the totality of human experience, we recognize that we are a narrative identity. In a time of crisis, the search for our identity is particularly important. The dynamic identity of the character is constructed by the narrative. As Ricoeur says, “the identity of the story makes the identity of the character.” Living our life, we learn to narrate our own story and dis-cover, re-figure, and trans-figure what is happening in and to us. Hearing the old question, “Adam, where are you,” we can responsibly say, “Here I am.” We can easily recognize that the narrative has a clear ethical claim, and our narrative identity comes to life in the narrative. The way we tell our story is open for interpretation and to reinterpretation. Precisely because “we understand each time differently, when we understand at all” (Gadamer), each one of us is called to a radical responsibility for telling our story, and for reading it just thus. On the way toward ourselves, in searching for our identity, particularly at this time of crisis, we sensitize ourselves toward this radical responsibility of narrating and interpreting. With this radical responsibility we recognize that the current pandemic is much more than a medical condition. Without rushing into premature interpretative conclusions, we rather thematize what is happening to and in us, in order to understand the threats lurking in a purely disciplinarian society and in false hopes in a magic cure for the susceptibilities and vulnerabilities unique to the human condition. |
