Abstract
Ricœur's reflexiva and hermeneutical philosophy, throughout its long detour, might be gathered under the leading thread of one of his last reflections: "the capable person's phenomenology". However, this characterization would be only comprehensible at the end of a fertile course plenty of tensions, conflicts and avatars, through so diverse realms where he gave us a bold anthropological, ethic, political, ontological, linguistic and scientific thought deeply current, always along with wise lessons on the history of philosophy. This article picks six main themes up, from his criticism on Descartes' selffoundational and immediate Ego to his pulling ahead and mediations on translation, the gift, and the struggle for recognition.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
