L’animale autobiografico e l’identità narrativa nell’epoca della tecnoscienza

Abstract

The present paper compares and interlaces J. Derrida’s and P. Ricoeur’s reflection, particularly dealing with the “autobiographical animal” and the “narrative identity.” The ethical issue enables an intersection between deconstruction and hermeneutic phenomenology, despite their insurmountable differences. Yet, the question is: does their “affirmative thinking” represent an answer to the issues of an epoch matching the supremacy of technoscience and acquiescence to nihilism?
