Devotion and attestation

rational and ethical life in Patočka and Ricoeur

Eddo Evink(University of Groningen)

pp. 455-483

Abstract

This article presents a comparison between Ricoeur’s and Patočka’s ideas on the subject as a rational and ethical person. Despite differences in style and interests, their work manifests important resemblances and agreements. The comparison focuses on the primordial embedding of the individual subject in natural and social structures, on the ethical implications of this situation of the subject, and on the differences in both philosophers’ evaluation of modern culture.
