Paul Ricoeur on Intentions - Dictionary of Arguments
II 21 Intention/Ricoeur: [The] notion of bringing experience to language is the ontological condition of reference, an ontological condition reflected within language as a postulate which has not immanent justification; the postulate according to which we presuppose the existence of singular things which we identify. But this intentional pointing toward the extra-linguistic would rely on a mere postulate and would remain a questionable leap beyond language if this exteriorization were not the counterpart of a previous and more originary move starting from the experience of being in the world and proceeding from this ontological condition towards its expression in language. It is because there is first something to say, because we have an experience to bring to language, that conversely, language is not only directed towards ideal meanings but also refers to what is. >Discourse/Ricoeur, >Dialogue/Ricoeur, >Literature/Ricoeur, >Intentional Fallacy/Wimsatt._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
