further extensions

in: , Extension of Ricoeur's hermeneutic, Berlin, Springer, 1975Abstract
An ambiguity emerges from some of Ricœur's recent writings on language. On the one hand, he considers it necessary today for phenomenology of language to take the sciences of language seriously; on the other hand, in many of his writings on the sciences of language, he appears to dismiss them rather than take them seriously. In further investigating this ambiguity, we will come to see how he has further developed his philosophy of language, and how this is the point of several important extensions central to his later philosophy.
