Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ricardo Gil Soeiro Title: From the Meaning of Meaning to Radical Hermeneutics Abstract: Primarily focusing on Steiner’s Real Presences (1989) and Caputo’s Radical Hermeneutics: Repetition, Deconstruction, and the Hermeneutic Project (1987), the present article wishes to come to an understanding of the relationship between Steiner’s hermeneutics of transcendence and John Caputo’s radical hermeneutics. Faced with the XXth century inhumanity, Steiner seems to be embracing the most radical move in hermeneutics, and he does so by wagering on transcendence, in which the meaning of meaning peacefully rests on the arms of God, thus rejecting the negative semiotics of Derrida. However, when looked upon by the demanding eye of radical hermeneutics put forth by Caputo, Steinerian hermeneutics soon reveals itself in alliance with a metaphysics of presence and a philosophical thought which holds back the free play of difference. Whereas Steiner seeks ‘the meaning of Meaning’, John Caputo, one of America’s most respected and controversial continental thinkers, has been both braced and terrified by Friedrich Nietzsche’s demand to take the truth straight up, forgoing the need to have it ‘attenuated, veiled, sweetened, blunted and falsified,’ readily confessing that we have not been handpicked to be Being’s or God’s mouthpiece, that it is always necessary to get a reading, even if (and precisely because) the reading is there is no Reading, no final game-ending Meaning, no decisive and sweeping Story that wraps things up. Even if the secret is, there is no Secret. ‘We do not know who we are - that is who we are.’.

A. Hayek. Content of the work is targeted for analysis of order in society. Te paper is trying to define, describe and analyze two kinds of order, and that spontaneous and created, and then find and break down first and most fundamental prerequisite for defining a need for a clearer grasp of negative liberty. The aim of this work is also to analyze a set of rules in general, because the rules of human behavior stopped in Hayek's idea produced equally significant position as the order. In this context, it wants the text to highlight the causal connection of order with the rules, which built so to prevent chaos in society and maintaining its functional progress. The intention of this paper is through the order and rules, as two general as well as probably the most important pillars of Hayek's ideological concept to highlight their importance as indicators of the minimal efforts to define the scope of freedom.

It is concluded that expectations may be rather backward-looking and adaptive since man does not search for all possible pieces of information and his learning by experience from previous mistakes may be imperfect and quite slow. Instead, mixed expectations are evaluated as a reasonable compromise.

One of the results of the effort for its gradual publication is now published transcript of Engliš's study "Zeleny's critique of my teleology". The transcript of the part of the manuscript is provided with author's explanatory notes and with additional explaining notes. Engliš had to deal with the critique of his teleological approach, which he preferred in economic science, as he had to defend his three-way division of thought (ontological, teleological and normological). It is precisely Engliš's defense of the order of thought that makes it possible to show its originality in the axiological field.
