Tropophilia and reductionism on the role of figures in rhetoric
Keywords:
Tropos, Reductionism, Figures, RhetoricAbstract
In this paper I propose to reinvindicate the role that figurative language plays in philosophical thought. For this I will review the way in which the history of rhetoric was relegating the lexis to mere ornamentation without speculative substance. The rhetoric understood as an analysis of poetic literary figures is accompanied by the underestimation of the figures. I would like, in this work, to reverse that look. For this I will take two authors that emphasize the relationship between tropes and thought. In the first place I will take the radical thesis of Nietzsche (the language is rhetorical, in the sense of figurative language) and then I will take Ricoeur's more nuanced thesis according to which the metaphor (as a synecdoche of rhetoric) has a revealing, unavoidable power and irreducible.References
