Il doppio legame dell’intepretazione : conservazione e innovazione della tradizione

The crisis of hermeneutical philosophy is an important opportunity for a reflection on the adaptive forms of rationality. The present essay aims at clarifying two issues of adaptiveness in a hermeneutical perspective: the overturning of the traditional relationships between theoria and praxis; and the place of the rule-violation in this pragmatical view of rationality. Metaphor is the most significant example of this adaptiveness.
