EDUARDO NICOL’S HISTORICISM IN THE REVALUATION OF THE ANALOGY AS KNOWLEDGE

Abstract

The Analogical Hermeneutics wants to stay equidistant from the uniqueness and ambiguity in interpretation. With its defense of analogy in epistemology, it considers that the concept (by itself ) can not understand all reality, but it does not accept the possibility of admitting all interpretations (even contradictory). Therefore, I suggest its proximity to the Metaphysics of the Expression: Nicol's historicist philosophy. Eduardo Nicol does not work in epistemic possibilities of analogy. But he continues Ortega's distrust of idealist reason: he unmasks the concept as a mere product of history, as the rationalist claim (since Parmenides) to hide the inevitable analogical source.
