The aim of this paper is to examine the analogical-abductive procedures in Sigmund Freud's work The acquisition and conquer of fire (1932). In particular, the procedures compromised in the validation of the Freudian hermeneutic hypothesis on the Greek myth of Prometheus figuring the renunciation of an instinct [trieb] were examined. Conditions of internal coherence and empirical consistence were examined, analysing their characteristics in hermeneutic research. Conditions of admissibility in light of the validation process were discussed as well. The analysis was approached according to the model proposed by Ynoub for the empirical treatment in research with hermeneutic hypotheses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article shows some views related to analogical hermeneutics as a theory of interpretation in which the equivocity and univocity ends are avoided. Under this scenario it is of vital importance to take a historical journey through the notions of analogy and hermeneutics in order to show the relevance of this study. Above all, the aim is to avoid the polarizations that lead philosophy into undesirable grounds. Instead, a balance between absolutist exactitudes and complete ambiguity is sought.

This article intends to present the essentials of an analogic hermeneutics. The procedure will be to expose in the first place what is understood by hermeneutics; then, the theory of analogy, and, lastly, what an analogic hermeneutics adds to the hermeneutics as such. Other topics, as the objectivity in the interpretation, will be mentioned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The proposal of the present text is to make some considerations about a methodological philosophical topos recovered in the classic work of K.-O. Apel, The Transformation of Philosophy. I refer to the dialectic between hermeneutics and semiotics. This relationship refers to a relevant aspect of the epistemological status of Philosophy, in that it recovers the problematic distinction between explaining and understanding, and in that sense, it is important to review it in order to make some clarifications with respect to the limits and scope of Philosophy, given certain current tendencies of the order of scientist reductionism or unlimited relativism. I will consider this dialectic between semiotics and hermeneutics from a dialogical perspective, that looks at a complementary articulation between both recovering the contributions of Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics and Beuchot's analogical hermeneutical perspective.

The following paper presents the symbol as an effective conduit that "metaphorically" invites the alchemical transformation of consciousness. If such a transformation occurs, it will be reflected in an ethical practice and, ideally, in the search to access anagogical levels of being. While the symbol comes from the sensual-tangible world, it touches the realm of mystical spirituality, as it possesses its unrepresentable part of ineffable transcendence. The symbol touches upon different regions of the being because it is only interpreted by means of analogy. This essay, therefore, relies on Analogical Hermeneutics, a philosophical current proposed by the Mexican philosopher Mauricio Beuchot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dialectic, analogical and iconic hermeneutics of the Mexican philosopher Mauricio Beuchot are not only a consistent and rigorous method for addressing the problems at hand, they are also a philosophical instrument for reflecting on the world and life, existence and the human condition in its temporality, on the hollowness of existence and on life in a world in constant crisis and to date, without improvement.

This article has its basis on the philosophy of religion and intends to practically use hermeneutics. Specifically, we refer to an analogical hermeneutics, which has already been elaborated by the author for several years and also by other researchers in diverse fields. To focus on the religious phenomenon following this approach leads to a search for the meaning religion can offer to the current humanity. Above all, Analytical Philosophy is regarded, which demands reference and demonstration, and also postmodern Philosophy, which leads to hermeneutics and meaning; but, while Analytical Philosophy has resorted to an univocal hermeneutics, the postmodern one has resorted to an equivocal hermeneutics, and there is a need now for an analogical perspective that combines meaning and reference.

In this text I wish to make an introductory exposition about what analogical hermeneutics is or aspires to be. So, I will first talk about hermeneutics in general so that I can give a brief but sufficient idea about it and later I will detail what analogical hermeneutics is. But, in order to do that, we will have to make an exposition, also very briefly, about what analogy is, so that we can understand the concept. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is a reply to the text of Guillermo Hurtado "Mestizaje, analogía y posmodernidad". Samuel Arriarán refuses the thesis of Hurtado about no validity of analogic barroque hermeneutics. The author argument is that the thesis of Hurtado has its basis in an old philosophical nacionalism that postulates the necessity of construction of own categories for mexican philosophy.

The present text has for object to search and to conceptualize the vestiges of identity from the conjugation of the perspective phenomenological - hermeneutics starting from the rereading of Colombian poets' fragments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
