In Time and narrative then in Oneself as another Paul Ricœur proposes a philosophy of personal and collective identity, through research on time and narrative. According to these books, emplotment would synthesize and reconcile the temporal discordance, experienced by the selfhood. The subject’s fragmentation by the otherness of time could then define vulnerability. Our aim is to question this triad time-vulnerability-narrative thanks to the opposite positions of Emmanuel Levinas. Unlike Ricœur, Levinas severely criticizes the idea of memory and narrative in order to respect the vulnerability of the other. Yet, the Ricœurian analysis of the responsibility affirms the need for a capable and not dispossessed Self. From this point of view, Ricœur helps us to question the limits set by Levinas to narrative and leads us to wonder if the ethical plot for the vulnerability of others does not need memory and narrative.

This paper deals with the problem of what otherness consists in, and what its foundation is, within the I–Other relation. In this way, the study also explores the limits of ethics and of a quasi-religious attitude, in order to establish what is required to shape interpersonal relations in a non-violent way, when faced with the radical otherness of another human being. Such an investigation also intersects with a broader ethical discussion that aims to take account of glorious or heroic acts, focused on the issue of supererogation. The aim of the present study is to demonstrate the degree to which a neglect of reciprocity and justice in the context of such philosophical research constitutes a risky step. To this end, the main aspects of the debate between Emmanuel Levinas and Paul Ricœur are introduced. After examining the position of Levinas, and how Ricœur interprets the I–Other relation in Levinas, an attempt is made to assess whether the latter’s line of criticism is pertinent and helpful for attempts to arrive at the core of the disagreement between the two thinkers.

É possível um retorno filosófico à religião?  A fim de tentar refletir acerca dessa difícil questão, o presente estudo pretende focar-se no confronto com os desafios do fenômeno religioso que se configura na contemporaneidade, tomando como ponto de referência o encontro entre as contribuições do pensamento filosófico de Paul Ricoeur – que recupera a textualidade da expe-riência religiosa e a fecundi-dade do pensamento ético-filosófico de Emmanuel Lévinas que, por sua vez, propõe o retorno à ética encontrada na tradição talmúdica, a fim de repensar o fenômeno religioso na atualidade.

The One

During the past fifty years, a dispute over the nature of historical discourse has taken place with the narrativist approach, arguing for the dominance of narration in history, on the one hand, and professional historians defending historiography's will to tell the truth, on the other. Paul Ricoeur entered the discussion with his work Time and Narrative where he offered an inventive response. According to him, both narration and scientific explication are essential to historical discourse. To support his statement, he introduces terms such as ‘a third time,‘ ‘a quasi-narration’ or ‘a historical consciousness.’ Thus, he shifts attention from narration to time. These terms can prove their usefulness when interpreting historical works. In the rest of the article, we aim to carry out such an interpretation on the example of Landscape and Memory by Simon Schama. In a Ricœurian perspective, Schama's book reveals its deep time significance.

The Problem Of Evil

The objective of this article is to present and analyze some theses advanced in “Lectures 3” by Paul Ricoeur. The book is devoted to the boundaries of philosophy, to non-philosophical sources of philosophy and finally to the other par excellence of philosophy—to religion. The book is composed of a series of essays divided thematically into three parts. The first part deals with Kant's and Hegel's philosophy of religion. Then in the course of the book the author gradually moves away from the philosophical logos (the second part deals with prophets, the problem of evil, the tragic etc) to arrive at a point where recourse to the exegesis of the Bible becomes for him indispensable.

Letting Go

Reflecting on the author's experience of parenting a son with disabilities and bringing this experience into conversation with authors such as Jean Vanier, Paul Ricoeur, and Emmanuel Levinas, this article suggests that “letting go” and becoming open to another in love is an experience of redemption that marks a conversion of self, one that transgresses boundaries and empowers the deepest kind of mutual belonging imaginable. Moreover, this conversion to another ultimately transforms us in the direction of a conversion to the divine itself, cultivating dispositions of gratitude and hope, for God is the relational power of the whole of reality, that which makes love imaginable, indeed possible.

Human Capacity

Paul Ricœur shared Emmanuel Mounier’s personalist and communitarian ideal of a universal community, which ensures that every human being has access to the conditions for self-development as a person. Whereas Mounier talks about communication as the structure of personhood that summons us towards the gradual enlargement of the community, Ricœur’s reflections on translation provide a missing link by referring, not just to the human capacity to communicate, but more specifically, to our capacity to translate and the implied ethics of linguistic hospitality. This allowed him to show that what enables us to enlarge the circle of brotherhood is the capacity to gradually settle in the world of the other and to welcome the other into one’s own world.

The Subject

In this paper, I read Paul Ricoeur in dialogue with Judith Butler, Emmanuel Levinas and Annie Léchenet. I suggest that Ricoeur’s philosophy provides interesting tools to articulate two simultaneous feminist claims, that is, a claim for recognition and a claim of justice. This article particularly highlights how the Ricoeurian hermeneutics of the subject, which puts self-esteem at the centre of the good life with and for others within just institutions, can provide an interesting frame for feminist research. Through my reading of Ricoeur, by linking more precisely the notions of promise and self-esteem, I argue that Ricoeur’s philosophy allows us to develop a theory of faithfulness to oneself, which, I suggest, is an implicit claim of feminist discourse.

A través de la noción de identidad narrativa Paul Ricoeur busca mostrar que una dialéctica entre lo propio y lo ajeno se encuentra presente en toda comprensión. Emmanuel Levinas rechaza esta concepción de la alteridad pues considera que el otro no es reducible a una relación que esté mediada por la reflexión. Considera al otro como un límite de la identidad, no su condición de posibilidad. De esta manera, se analiza la respuesta que ofrece Ricoeur en Sí mismo como otro respecto al estatuto de la alteridad del otro y su relación con la constitución de la identidad del yo.

El texto analiza el breve diálogo epistolar que tuvieron Emmanuel Levinas y Paul Ricoeur poco tiempo después de la publicación de la obra de Ricoeur, Sí mismo como otro, en la cual Ricoeur criticaba a Levinas la «falta de estima de sí» en la constitución del sujeto que responde al otro. A lo cual Levinas se defiende haciendo referencia a la categoría de «elección». El hecho de haber sido elegido por el otro para responderle suscita en mí, sin haberlo previsto, una especie de estima de mí mismo, que me permite descubrirme «otro» de quien yo creía ser al principio. Breve diálogo epistolar entre los dos amigos que nos permite entrar en el centro de sus reflexiones sobre la alteridad.
