RICOEUR, PAUL

1913–2005

Hermeneutics of Suspicion (The Visitor's Right)

Ricoeur named three masters of suspicion — Marx, Nietzsche, Freud — and recommended their hermeneutics for any inherited text. CoCA invites the suspicion. The Notice of Proprietary Dominion explicitly waives the defense of irony. The reader is welcome to read the institution as critique, as performance, as scam, as religion. The institution returns Documentation received. We do not explain. The hermeneutics belongs to the reader.
