ABSTRACT

With a phenomenological reassessment of Ricœur’s early ethics, I expound on the role played by evaluation in shaping intentions in the course of action. Ricœur’s early ethics can be considered an “extended theory of action” because it addresses human doing beyond the paradigm of well-formed intentions. Focusing on The Voluntary and the Involuntary, I will (1) consider his inquiry under the lens of his critique of early-phenomenological meta-ethics by discussing his view that evaluation isolates itself from consciousness’s constitutive tension toward action; (2) highlight the existential motives of his later hermeneutic turn which latently motivate his early philosophical project: the formation of intentions arises in a biographical and historical context, and only gradually becomes conscious from the agent’s perspective. (3) pinpoint how Ricœur identifies an entanglement with the circle of conviction in the structure of commitment, by enlarging the scope to his reading of Landsberg.

摘要

通过对利科早期伦理学的现象学重新评估，我阐述了评价在行动过程中塑造意图的作用。Ricœur 的早期伦理学可以被认为是一种“扩展的行动理论”，因为它超越了良好意图的范式解决了人类的行为。关注自愿和非自愿，我将（1）在他对早期现象学元伦理学的批评的视角下考虑他的调查，讨论他的观点，即评估将自己与意识对行动的构成张力隔离开来；(2) 强调他后来的解释学转向的存在动机，这潜在地激发了他早期的哲学计划：意图的形成出现在传记和历史背景中，并且从行动者的角度逐渐变得有意识。(3) 通过扩大他对兰茨贝格的阅读范围，确定利科如何在承诺结构中识别出与信念圈的纠缠。
