Darkness Visible: Part 2

Going deep together into the "Classics" that have called from "Elsewhere" to the unfathomable depths within. David Tracy thought of a "Classic" as a work that was open to multiple, productive interpretations, which could be anything from a text to a work of art to a religious practice. Jean-Luc Marion thought of "Elsewhere" appearing here as the sort of "Saturated Phenomena" that allowed for radical otherness to speak for itself without exhausting or reducing its meaning to the understandable, which he thought of in terms of Maurice Merleau-Ponty's the invisible appearing without becoming merely visible. Communities of interpretations, called by Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur "Hermeneutic Circles" after Heidegger's teachings on the matter of the interpretation of being, are religious rituals that form a community of interpreters.
