| 总结: | Reading Kevin Harts creative hermeneutic of the basileic reduction in his latest book, Kingdoms of God, naturally leads me to consider another eminent linguistic phenomenologist who continually occupies my thoughts. Although I have been reading Hart now for about 25 years, I have been reading Paul Ricoeur for a decade longer than that, and it is his theory of poetic discourse that my mind keeps tenaciously associating with Harts perspectives on parable. Granted, Hart never mentions Ricoeur in Kingdoms of Godunless my careful reading is not so careful and I missed it! In Trespass of the Sign, however, he does note Ricoeurs significance as a hermeneutical philosopher, specifically his emphasis on the distinction between the hermeneutics of faith and the hermeneutics of suspicion. Also, in an article on John Caputos postsecular philosophy of religion without religion, Hart makes a brief comment on Ricoeurs apparent Hegelianism with reference to a general theory of revelation as nonreligious and nontheistic. Still, nowhere that I know of does he extensively address Ricoeurs fascinating discourse theory regarding metaphor, mimesis, narrative, and parable. If great minds think alike, then Hart and Ricoeur are, indeed, great minds, for, truly, Ricoeurs reflections on parables and the Kingdom offer an intriguing gloss on Harts parabolic basileiology. Translating Hart into Ricoeur, therefore, is, in my mind, an easy and profitable exercise that may well enhance the provocative character of Harts basileic reduction. Such a translation is the central purpose of this essay. |
