Summary: | Ricoeur's autobiographical works, written mainly in the final decade of his life, have proven to be a valuable if contentious resource. On the one hand, they bring into focus the tense relationship between philosophical and religious thought in Ricoeur's corpus; on the other, they offer new insights into the broader interdisciplinary implications of his philosophy. This essay considers the recent interpretations and potential misconceptions associated with these late publications. I argue that, contrary to recent critiques, these autobiographical works are neither a deviation nor denunciation of his earlier philosophical approach. Rather, they offer a context to better understand Ricoeur's ambitious hermeneutical project of the 1970s. |
