Description
Paul Ricoeur has been hailed as one of the most important thinkers of the century. Oneself as Another, his greatest work to date, substantiates this position. Ricoeur focuses here on the concept of personal identity, a major theme of contemporary philosophy. Running throughout the book are three key issues: the concept of self; the notion of identity or sameness; and the relation to otherness, or to that which is not self.
