L"englobant/englobe' selon Ricoeur: une critique implicite de la raison neoliberale

In: Raisons politiques: études de pensée politique, Band 4, Heft 52, S. 109-122

Abstract

At the turn of the 1990s, Ricoeur reformulates his political thought to focus on a task of judgment: the new difficulty for citizens to know whether politics are englobing or englobed. This study intends to demonstrate that the 'paradox' of the englobing/englobed, even though it is never developed in such terms, provides arguments for a criticism of neoliberal reason, which was simultaneously implemented in politics. Devoted to market, these biased politics divert the englobed from the englobing of togetherness. And the latter no longer recognizes itself as such, because mutuality of exchanges focusing on the persons is covered by market reciprocity focusing on the objects. This criticism reveals the unthinkable status, for the neoliberal doctrine, of authority, which is required to articulate englobed and englobing. Adapted from the source document.
