Example text
Le premier livre de la Doctrina christiana sera ainsi consacré à l’exposition de la « chose » qui veut être présentée dans le texte biblique, à savoir le récit de la création fondée dans le Dieu trinitaire et le salut qu’il propose. Augustin distingue alors deux types de choses, celles dont on jouit pour elles-mêmes (frui), qui ont leur fin en elles-mêmes, et celles que l’on utilise (uti) pour une autre fin. Seules les choses éternelles offrent une réelle jouissance et leur connaissance correspond au Souverain Bien, au summum bonum.
Encore une fois, Heidegger n’a pas vraiment de modèle plus édifiant à proposer à l’existence concrète. Il lui rappelle seulement qu’elle cesse un peu d’être là lorsqu’elle se laisse aller et néglige de se prendre en main. À cette existence inauthentique, Heidegger oppose l’idéal d’authenticité qui habite déjà l’existence en tant qu’espace ouvert susceptible de déterminer l’interprétation de son être. Il ne s’agit donc pas de proposer une nouvelle morale, mais d’inviter le Dasein à être ce qu’il est, un être qui peut être « là » où tombent les décisions fondamentales quant à son être, mais qui le plus souvent est ailleurs, distrait, loin de soi.
C’est le cas chez Quintilien (30-100), qui traite de l’exegesis (enarratio) dans son De institutione oratoria (I, 9), mais surtout chez Augustin (354-430) qui a rassemblé des règles pour l’interprétation des textes dans son traité sur La doctrine chrétienne (396-426) qui a marqué toute l’histoire de l’herméneutique4. Cette tradition a connu un important renouveau dans le protestantisme qui a fait naître plusieurs traités d’herméneutique, inspirés pour la plupart de la Rhetorica (1519) de Melanchton (1497-1560).
