%X In the present text I address some problems regarding the hermeneutical project developed by Paul Ric ur. Hence, I attempt (1) to highlight three issues which confine the difficulty in understanding Paul Ric ur¡¯s hermeneutics, and (2) to point out, as an example, that Ric ur¡¯s ¡°hermeneutics of historical consciousness¡± addresses a non-hermeneutic debate. The indirect thesis of my text is that one always has to consider Ric ur¡¯s hermeneutics as a ¡°work in progress¡± even when he clearly emphasizes that ¡°the text¡± must be regarded as the centre of hermeneutics and my main thesis is that one always has to pay particular attention to Ric ur¡¯s non-hermeneutic insights when he addresses a hermeneutic problem.
