Abstract

In this philosophical essay, I intend to understand hermeneutics as a philosophical tradition that favors the idea of exchange and impropriety over the ideas of ownership and identity. To this end, I will explore the mythological figure of Hermes, the Greek god that was the patron of merchants, travelers, translators, and also of thieves. Attending to the idea of robbery, and opposing the notion of use against the one of ownership, I argue that a philosophy that focus on interpretation and on texts leads to acknowledge that there is nothing proper to anything nor anyone, but that propriety is but the outcome of a negotiation, of an exchange, of mutual dis-appropriations.

盗贼之神
在这篇哲学论文中,我打算将解释学理解为一种哲学传统,它倾向于交换和不当行为的观念,而不是所有权和身份的观念。为此,我将探讨神话人物赫尔墨斯,他是希腊的商人、旅行者、翻译和小偷的守护神。关注抢劫的概念,反对使用与所有权的概念,我认为,专注于解释和文本的哲学会导致承认没有任何东西适合于任何事物或任何人,但适当只是谈判,交换,相互剥夺的结果。
