Abstract

We can transform the world of text into an imaginative and reflective laboratory for personal (re-)interpretation and renewal. This is possible not only because we can (re-)constitute ourselves as narrators of our own story, but also, because by making us a ‘character’ opens the way to a possible reconfiguration and redefinition of who we are, of the sense of our experiences, actions and initiatives. This is a key aspect of Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy of the capable human being – a conception that defines a middle-way position between substantialism and anti-substantialism in anthropological philosophy.
