Ricoeur's First Aporia of Time: The Problematics of Visibility vs. Invisibility of Time

Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenological reflections on the experience of time involve a series of hermeneutic confrontations which present themselves as the historical detour into Western reflective discourse. This detour has three foci inasmuch as the detour involves Ricoeur's first aporia of time: (1) movement, (2) visibility vs. invisibility, and (3) finitude vs. infinity. The present investigation explicates the second of these foci. This explication involves the (re-) constructions of the arguments for implicit or missing theses to develop the fully elaborated account of this moment of detour.
