Hans Blumenberg is celebrated for demonstrating that metaphors have had a more foundational influence than concepts on European intellectual history. Many acknowledge that his insights might have achieved even greater impact if he had articulated a more explicit theory of metaphor. In 1960 Blumenberg discusses the historical formation of metaphors that have given rise to meaningful discourses on metaphysical abstractions, like God, existence, or Being, but he does not develop a general model of metaphoric language, and his work rarely engages with other contemporary theories of metaphor. During Blumenberg’s lifetime, French and German postwar philosophers rarely cited one another. Yet French hermeneutics, and the work of philosopher Paul Ricoeur in particular, may have strongly influenced Blumenberg’s research group, Poetik und Hermeneutik. This paper is an attempt to recuperate intellectual affinities between Blumenberg and Ricoeur, in order to demonstrate that Ricoeur’s claims about metaphor provide the theoretical background for a fuller appreciation of Blumenberg’s metaphor analyses.

实践理论：利科隐喻理论中布鲁门伯格隐喻学的基础

汉斯·布鲁门伯格 (Hans Blumenberg) 因证明隐喻比概念对欧洲思想史具有更基础的影响而闻名。许多人承认，如果他阐明了更明确的隐喻理论，他的见解可能会产生更大的影响。1960 年，布鲁门伯格讨论了隐喻的历史形成，这些隐喻引发了关于形而上学抽象的有意义的论述，如上帝、存在或存在，但他没有发展隐喻语言的一般模型，他的作品很少涉及其他当代理论隐喻。在布鲁门伯格的一生中，法国和德国的战后哲学家很少相互引用。然而，法国诠释学，尤其是哲学家保罗·利科 (Paul Ricoeur) 的作品，可能对布鲁门伯格的研究小组 Poetik und Hermeneutik 产生了强烈影响。
