Preferred term

hermeneutics of suspicion  

Definition

  • This term was coined by French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913–2005) to characterize the hermeneutical philosophy of the more radical followers of Nietzsche (1844–1900), principally Derrida (1930–2004) and Foucault (1926–1984). Also called radical or deconstructionist hermeneutics, this philosophy is profoundly suspicious of whatever purports to be the truth; it argues that all interpretations are false and there is no escape from false consciousness.
