Un vie exemplaire. Douze autobiographèmes de Paul Ricœur

Touati, Paul LU (2008) p.606-616
Abstract
Paul Ricœur was widely regarded as one of the great contemporary French philosophers and as a leading intellectual who produced during his long life influential works in numerous scholar fields ranged from phenomenology and hermeneutics, psychoanalysis and poetics to theology and ethics.

Paul Ricœur was widely regarded as one of the great contemporary French philosophers and as a leading intellectual who produced during his long life influential works in numerous scholar fields ranged from phenomenology and hermeneutics, psychoanalysis and poetics to theology and ethics. In his philosophical works he was deeply concerned with the meaning of life, in particular with our constant and complicated effort to make ours own lives intelligible to ourselves. In this perspective, and for the first time having himself as the subject, Ricœur published in 1995, during the same year, two auto-biographical books titled Réflexion faite and La critique et la conviction that present crucial events of his intellectual life. When lived experiences become textual narratives as it was then the case, particular existential and intellectual episodes are repeatedly chosen to function as biographical encapsulations, “biographèmes” using Barthes notion. Based on this notion and principally referring to these auto-biographical books, this article selected twelve “auto-biographèmes” in order to illustrate the exemplarity of Paul Ricœur´s intellectual oeuvre, life and journey.
