This paper analyzes the exchange between Ricoeur and Derrida concerning metaphor. I argue that the exchange is not a “missed encounter,” as Eftichis Pirovolakis has suggested, but exemplifies a hermeneutic situation in which theoretical divergence is supplemented by a practical convergence. Rather than a mere exegesis of the exchange between Ricoeur and Derrida, I emphasize the practical implications for the interpretation of poetic metaphors. To be more specific, I emphasize the case of Paul Celan’s poem “Blume” and the semantic density of the central metaphor. Although Ricoeur and Derrida diverge in strictly theoretical terms, their theoretical positions--when translated into practical terms--establish different but convergent paradigms for the interpretation of poetic metaphors. |
