Hermeneutics of the self and action in Paul Ricoeur

This article aims to present the relationship between the hermeneutics of the self and the action in Paul Ricoeur. T consider the hypothesis that the hermeneutics of the self starts from a pragmatic level of language, moving to a narrative level that is required for actions to be taken together and subject to ethical and moral evaluations. Tn any case, although distinguishing the modes of action (speaking, acting, narrating, being imputed) is possible, they are related to a fundamental act based on the ontology of the act, which would support the analogical unity of the actions performed. Thus, T present in this study three schemes, namely, (i) the didactic scheme, linked to the describe / narrate / prescribe triad, (ii) the reflexive scheme, through which the author himself or herself discusses the so called meta function, and (iii) the heuristic scheme of practical abilities or skills, linked to the question Who? (Who is speaking? Who is acting? Who is telling his or her story? Who is the moral subject of imputation?).
