摘要:Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE In what sense is the self, as Ricœur conceives it, a vulnerable self? We shall argue that vulnerability, as far as it concerns the self, can be approached on three levels: reflexive, of human abilities and ontological. However, if Ricœur helps us think human fragility and thus define a new concept of self, vulnerability remains understood in the framework of a reflection on human acting (agir) of which it is, in a certain way, the negative. Autonomy, as the culminating point of acting, remains the ultimate goal. For us, approaching vulnerability from such a reference point ought to be put into question: does it enable us to really determine what vulnerability is? In order to answer this question, we will confront Ricœur’s conception of vulnerability with levinasian ethics. Indeed, Levinas operates a double reversal: not only does vulnerability come first, but in addition, vulnerability is of the other before being of the self. Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE
