The hermeneutics of recovery according to Paul Ricœur and Bernard lonergan

Abstract 
Paul Ricœur develops a critique of the hermeneutic position of the school of suspicion to complement their assumptions the recovery of a historical epistemology. Consequently a new hermeneutic understanding arises whereby the signs and symbols spreaded throughout history are to be analyzed. Bernard Lonergan undertakes this enterprise and delves into a transcendental epistemology which recovers subjectivity. This subjectivity’s way of knowing will be capable of self-appropriation, hence becoming a validation reference for the understanding of hermeneutic meaning.
