A Hermeneutics of Contemplative Silence: Paul Ricoeur, Edith Stein,
and the Heart of Meaning brings together the work of Paul Ricoeur
and Edith Stein and locates the role of silence in the creation of
meaning. Michele Kueter Petersen argues that human being is
language and silence. Contemplative silence manifests a mode of
capable human being whereby a shared world of meaning is
constituted and created. The analysis culminates with the claim
that a hermeneutics of contemplative silence manifests a deeper
level of awareness as a poetics of presencing a shared humanity.
The term “awareness” refers to five crucial levels of
meaning-creating consciousness that are ingredients in the practice
of contemplative silence. Contemplative awareness includes
self-critique as integral to the experience and the understanding
of the virtuous ordering of relational realities. The practice of
contemplative silence is a spiritual and ethical activity that aims
at transforming reflexive consciousness. Inasmuch as it leads to
openness to new motivation and intention for acting in relation to
others, contemplative awareness elicits movement through the
ongoing exercise of rethinking those relational realities in and
for the world. The texts of Ricoeur and Stein reveal a
contemplative discourse of praise and beauty for capable human
beings whose actions and suffering respond to word and silence.
