Soï même comme un autre
Book •
In 'Soi-même comme un autre,' Paul Ricœur develops a comprehensive theory of personal identity that integrates phenomenology, hermeneutics, and narrative theory to explain how selves persist and change.
He distinguishes the experiencing self from the narrative or autobiographical self, arguing that identity is shaped by temporal experience and storytelling.
Ricœur explores ethical responsibility, memory, and the role of narrative in constituting moral selves, emphasizing interpretation and the social dimensions of identity.
The book synthesizes analytic and continental approaches, influencing debates across philosophy, literary theory, and psychology.
Ricœur's account remains central to contemporary discussions of narrative identity and moral agency.
