Resumen de Paul Ricoeur : persona, comunità e Stato da "Éthique et politique" alla critica a "A Theory of Justice" di John Rawls
This contribution focuses on Paul Ricoeur’s proposal in the field of theory of justice, as it appears from the four important works, in which the French philosopher treats the theme of relationship between person, community and State: Éthique et politique (1983), Meurt le personnalisme, revient la personne (1983), Soi-même comme un autre (1990), Le Juste (1995). Ricoeur, in Éthique et politique and in Meurt le personnalisme, revient la personne, highlights that the living tradition of human communities can be a sort of “ethical place”, in which it’s possible to reach a metaphysical concept of human person, only if the same ethics becomes able to consider the notion of man as “crisis” and, in consequence, to intend the theory of justice as a “challenge” on good. In consideration of this perspective, Ricoeur, in Soi-même comme un autre and in Le Juste, criticizes the kantian autonomy of good will from the good’s desire and the rawlsian elimination of comprehensive doctrines from the public space and their conservation only into the private dimension.
