On Paul Ricoeur’s Unwritten Project of an Ontology of Place
Abstract
In this paper I would like to venture certain assumptions on what could be a consequential ontology of place, as sketched from a – probably unconventional and somewhat free – reading of Ricoeur’s debate with Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit on the subject of temporality, resumed in the third part of La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli. The challenge is now to try to conceive of an ontology of place at the same level as the ontology of historicity, which Ricoeur begins to unfold in the way I have identified.
