O objetivo deste estudo é mostrar de que maneira o amor pode ser melhor integrado à prática da justiça. A hipótese deste trabalho, que possui como referencial teórico principal o filósofo francês Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005), consiste na ideia de que o amor está associado à justiça pelos laços do desejo, ou seja, o amor exige a justiça. Entretanto, a dialética entre amor e justiça é caracterizada por um conflito e uma desproporção. Em resumo, na obra ricoeuriana, há uma conexão conflitiva entre amor e justiça, na qual o amor é colocado no âmbito da subjetividade e a justiça no contexto das leis ou normas. Frequentemente, Ricoeur vê o amor a partir do contexto da fé bíblica e consequentemente o amor é colocado em um nível transcendente, sendo governado pela lógica da superabundância. Já a justiça é explicitada a partir de um contexto estritamente humano, sob a ótica da lógica da equivalência. Por meio dessa dialética, Ricoeur afirma a desproporção inicial entre ambos os termos (amor e justiça) ao mesmo tempo em que busca mediações práticas entre eles. The objective of this study is to show how love can be better integrated into the practice of justice. The hypothesis of this work, which has the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) as its main theoretical framework, consists in the idea that love is associated with justice through the bonds of desire, that is, love requires justice. However, the dialectic between love and justice is characterized by conflict and disproportion. In summary, in the ricoeurian work there is a conflicting connection between love and justice, in which love is placed in the scope of subjectivity and justice in the context of laws or norms. Ricoeur often sees love from the context of biblical faith and consequently love is placed on a transcendent level, being governed by the logic of overabundance. Justice is explained from a strictly human context, from the perspective of the logic of equivalence. Through this dialectic, Ricoeur affirms the initial disproportion between both terms (love and justice) while looking for practical mediations between them.

The Human Condition

Liturgical worship has at times been controversial within parts of the Christian tradition. This article uses phenomenology—especially the thought of Paul Ricœur, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Gabriel Marcel—to analyse, evaluate, and respond to five common objections to liturgy by those who reject it: (1) the absence of freedom and spontaneity, (2) the absence of authenticity, (3) the use of symbols to mediate the divine, (4) the use of the liturgical calendar, and (5) liturgy’s repetitive nature. This article concludes that those who practice liturgy have something to learn from each objection, but that none of the objections invalidates liturgy. On the contrary, what phenomenology teaches us about the human condition suggests that liturgy is more suitable than forms of worship that try to do without it.

The Church

Early Christian tradition placed Mary Magdalene as a sacred woman, who because of her divine God made her worthy of being a witness to the resurrection. Mary became an epitome for many who were awake in faith searching for Him on Easter morning. He is also a model of the church in its pilgrimage seeking God. Using a hermeneutics perspective, dealing with the Bible, Paul Ricoeur clearly distinguishes between reading and interpreting activities, "exegesis" and "hermeneutics". "Interpretation" not only means "exegesis", but "exegesis" as well as "hermeneutics". Productive hermeneutics bear a thesis, that is, the position of faith which contains free ethical choices. It is in this light that Mary Magdalene and her life will be seen in a hermeneutical perspective in order to arrive at an emancipatory ethical calling. In a pedagogical perspective, Maria's life values are: sensitivity- compassion, missionary vocation to be an agent of change, and wise creativity.

The Way

This paper assesses the ways in which Transcendence and the question of God appear in the philosophy of Paul Ricœur. Taking stock of the debate on the theological turn of French phenomenology, the paper aims to show the unique position held by Ricœur among French phenomenology and hermeneutics, in that in spite of his Christian faith, Ricœur strove to put forward a philosophy of limits ‘without absolute’ while, at the same time, developing inquiries in phenomenology and hermeneutics of religion. The paper follows the development of Ricœur’s thought on this matter, from his early phenomenological works, through the hermeneutical turn and until the essay of fundamental anthropology of Oneself as Another, unpacking the Kantian and Hegelian influences, the approach on religion ‘within the limits of reason alone’ and also the way in which the Kantian undertones of hermeneutics as philosophy of finitude at the same time open the space to hope and imagination. Ricœur’s philosophy therefore appears as a rigorous descriptive and interpretive effort that strives not to mix the genres of discourse, while, at the same time, we can still find some ethical and supra-ethical traits in his practical philosophy that do stem from his Christian faith – but whose status is inspirational and therefore does not dent the overall theoretical framework of his philosophy of limits.

Prophetic Tradition

Abstract The brevity of this note by Paul Ricoeur belies its impact, as a version of the famous challenge he delivered to Heidegger upon his first arrival in France at the Cerisy-la-Salle conference in 1955. Why has Heidegger passed over the Judaic tradition? He pays such close attention to the Greeks and their questioning of being, and yet what about the prophetic tradition and the ethical dimensions it inspires? Are these not an essential part of the Western tradition? Heidegger dismissed Ricoeur’s challenge at the time and never arrived at any answers in his later career. And yet this step is absolutely necessary, claims Ricoeur, if one hopes to rethink the Christian tradition, and indeed, Western philosophy.
