L'imagination active The major theme that unites his writings is that of a philosophical anthropology This anthropology which Ricoeur came to call an anthropology of the capable human being aims to give an account of the fundamental capabilities and vulnerabilities that human beings display in the activities that make up their lives Though the accent is always on the possibility of understanding the self as an agent responsible for its actions Ricoeur consistently rejects any claim that the self is immediately transparent to itself or fully master of itself Self knowledge only comes through our relation to the world and our life with and among others in that world. L'imagination au pouvoir In the course of developing his anthropology Ricoeur made a major methodological shift His writings prior to 1960 were in the tradition of existential phenomenology But during the 1960s Ricoeur concluded that properly to study human reality he had to combine phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation For this hermeneutic phenomenology whatever is intelligible is accessible to us in and through language and all deployments of language call for interpretation Accordingly there is no self understanding that is not mediated by signs symbols and texts in the final analysis self understanding coincides with the interpretation given to these mediating terms Oneself as Another 15 translation corrected This hermeneutic or linguistic turn did not require him to disavow the basic results of his earlier investigations It did however lead him not only to revisit them but also to see clearly their implications site_link En 1975 Paul Ric ur donne en anglais l Universit de Chicago ce grand cours sur l imagination rest in dit En dix neuf le ons il relit l histoire de la philosophie occidentale autour d une opposition essentielle d une part l imagination reproductrice picture traduit ici par tableau que la tradition a souvent critiqu e comme illusoire et trompeuse d autre part l imagination productrice fiction qu elle a souvent ignor e Or c est bien cette fonction cr atrice de la fiction dans sa capacit inventer et d couvrir de nouvelles dimensions de la r alit qui int resse Ric ur S appuyant sur la peinture la po sie ou le processus de la d couverte scientifique il propose in fine une v ritable th orie de la fiction en montrant comment celle ci impr gne la pens e m me et constitue le c ur de l agir humain.
