Les théories de la conspiration, l'herméneutique et Ricœur — quelques facettes de l'existence humaine

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Populism invokes the authority of the people against an élite. Often that entails a rejection of the authority of experts and their criteria for a valid discourse. This tension surfaces in conflicts around conspiracy theories and here is suggested that this tension is seen as a conflict between two interpretations of reality, of particular phenomena or history. The question is what role the philosophical hermeneutics articulated by Paul Ricœur can play when reflecting on the formation of history, narration, documents and archives. Crucial factors are the historian and what is legitimately included in a story.
