Mar 29, 2015 · Great discussion! My understanding is that the second naivete isn’t going to come through cognitive reasoning, that would keep one in the critical distance stage. Rather, finding alternative embodied ways to be with the religious principals may, over time or instantaneously, open up the second naivete. Religion is more than a set of stories.

KU Leuven Abstract Despite the fact that it is only rarely mentioned by Ricœur, the concept of second (or post-critical) naivety seems to express an idea that is central to his hermeneutical attitude, which is why it deserves more attention. This idea can be broadly understood as the aspiration to arrive at a mediated and post-critical (self-)under...
Hermeneutics, as the art of interpretation, seeks to mediate where it is necessary.1 But it seems that mediation is not only necessary where there is a gap in understanding between different persons (reader and writer, listener and speaker), but also within the self. In other words, self-understanding also requires some form of mediation: by engagi...
As I mentioned in the introduction, I also find it useful to briefly discuss some features of the phenomenology of religion, exemplified here by Gerardus van der Leeuw. In Freud and Philosophy, where Ricœur sketches the aforementioned spectrum of hermeneutic attitudes from a “willingness to suspect” to a “willingness to listen,” he refers (among ot...
But what is this initial naivety that both the various modern schools of criticism and the hermeneutics of restoration seek to overcome? If we are talking about religion, then the answer is more or less clear: it refers to a sort of naïve faith which precedes rational reflection and lacks suspicion in the Ricœurian sense (i.e. referring to the “mas...
Psychoanalysis is the only critical method to which Ricœur dedicated an entire book. Although, as the French title (De l’interprétation) suggests, Freud and Philosophy deals with the question of interpretation in general through Freud, it is of course also a very detailed philosophical discussion of Freud’s writings. Ricœur’s attitude towards psych...
Structuralism is yet another critical method which Ricœur often engaged in a dialogue with. However, since in the 1960s France, Marxism and psychoanalysis were often merged with a structuralist framework (as exemplified by the already mentioned Althusser and Lacan, respectively), with this separate section on structuralism I mostly intend to emphas...
My main aim in this article was, on the one hand, to investigate to what extent the relevance of the idea of second naivety for Ricœur’s hermeneutics exceeds the explicit mentions of the concept in his texts, and, on the other hand, to examine what a second naivety would look like after the detours provided by the various critical methods. My concl...

In this paper, delivered as a faculty presentation, I explore Paul Ricoeur’s notion of the second naiveté as it manifests itself in post-critical theology and progressive Christianity. In the course of traversing Ricoeur’s hermeneutical arc, I explore how the concept of symbol can fill the space left by the divergence of belief and faith.
The Second Naivete and the Relation between Criticism and Opacity This brings us more directly to Ricoeur’s notion of the second naïveté and to the discussion on religion today, as we intersect the phenomenological with the critical and seek a kind of genealogy of the God’s return to himself within his circle of glory and also our ascent ...
