Pourquoi il faut traiter autrui á l’égal de soi-même. Interprétation et charité en anthropologie

Gérard Lenclud (2002)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

This article defends the position that anthropological interpretation is necessarily charitable to others. Nevertheless, given that charity seems to imply that others should systematically be absolved–in advance–of the mistakes they (like the interpreter) are likely to make and that these mistakes are significant (just as those of the interpreter are), it may be preferable to evoke a “Postulate of Equality” rather than the “Principle of Charity”.

«Si un lion...»

Jean Bazin (2002)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

The philosophical language game of radical translation, which consists of splitting the atoms of linguistic behavior in a quasi-experimental way, amounts to the construction of a non-situation wherein one renders oneself incapable of understanding the uses of language. The debate needs to be reoriented: we need to shift the focus from the problem of meaning (or the pairs meaning/translation and meaning/belief) to accounting for action. If there is charity, it consists not so much in...

L’art de faire crédit ou comment ne pas prendre les autres pour des imbéciles

Isabelle Delpla (2002)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

The principle of charity is here analysed as one form of interpretive benevolence whose aim is to give others credit and not to take them for idiots. In this very aim, however, it is in competition with other maxims, each of which fights against one kind of stupidity. That being the case, we must criticize the false alternatives between charity and contempt, on the one hand, and charity and nonsense, on the other. The principle of charity cannot be granted legitimacy as a principle specific...

L’idée d’un sens commun

Vincent Descombes (2002)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

This article, which emphasizes the hermeneutic origin of the principle of charity, attempts to resituate the contemporary theories within a tradition of reflection about the anthropological problem (how can we claim to reach an understanding of other types of human lives?). These doctrines actually propose a philosophy of common sense, in other words a solution to the problem of exercising rationality. Due to a failure to relate this common sense to any particular form of social life,...

La rationalité est-elle incodifiable ?

Pascal Engel (2002)

Philosophia Scientiae

Similarity:

This paper discusses a thesis which underlies Davidson’s philosophy of interpretation: the incodifiability of rationality. It is shown that this thesis is involved in Davidson’s use of the principle of charity. At the end of the paper, the thesis is criticized: the principles of rationality do not come from nowhere. At least a strong nucleus of psychological rationality must be codifiable.

Un point de logique aristotélicienne : le «définitionnel»

Claude Gaudin (1991)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Similarity:

Ni description, ni démonstration mais recherche de l'élément qui différencie un concept de ceux qui lui sont le plus proches, telle est la définition classique. On a choisi d'analyser ici 1) ce qui fait de la définition une forme de prédication «réflexive», 2) la liaison établie par Aristote entre la définition-formule qui permet d'identifier la chose, d'abord par rapport à elle-même, et la théorie des prédicables ! Celle-ci est une amorce systématique de ce qui est aujourd'hui la théorie...
