Forms of communality

Drawing on Ricœur’s critique of the idea of self-transparency and the foundational demand of the Cogito, the conference aims to address the issue of the dynamic interplay between self and other—both in its individual and collective dimensions. While the primary forms of alterity addressed by Ricœur—namely, the body, moral consciousness, and the other—may refer more directly to the domain of intimate selfhood, according to the author, the self-other dynamic also manifests itself on a collective level. The aim of the conference is thus to continue the critical reappropriation of Ricœur’s thought by fostering a dialogue between Ricœurian and non-Ricœurian perspectives on the topic of the self-other dynamic interplay.
