Freedom and Nature: The Voluntary and the Involuntary

More about the book

Focusing on the essential structure of human existence, this volume explores the concept of man as an incarnate Cogito, aiming to clarify the relationship between subject and object. By employing a phenomenological approach, it temporarily sets aside the complexities of existence, such as passion and innocence, to provide a foundational understanding of humanity's being in the world. This work lays the groundwork for Ricoeur's later explorations, offering insights into the continuity of various inquiries related to human existence.
