Abstract

DE LAUNAY, Marc. For a Philosophic Reading of the Biblical Text. Acta poét [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.1, pp.31-60. ISSN 2448-735X.

Many philosophers have been confronted with the Bible and commented biblical texts, most of the time without any philological precautions. The more a philosophical tradition asserted itself liberated from its theological supervision, the less it has been inclined to acknowledge any intellectual debt to the Bible. Thus, the irruption of biblical text has been a turning point in Western cultural history, as it marks the change from a "symbolic form" (named "myth" by Cassirer) to another ("language"); moreover, the Pentateuchal text endeavour to bring out a new form of relationship with the time: that of history, neither cyclical nor yet prophetical, and which philosophy inherites without acknowledging its true debt.

Keywords : symbolic form; open history; critical hermeneutics; mythical narrative; philosophical debt.
