Paul Ricoeur: the solicitude ethics challenges education

Abstract

This essay presents Paul Ricoeur's ethics of solicitude as a challenge to education. Ricoeur proposes a distinction of ethics from moral, but including moral as the core of ethics. To him, the aim is a good life with the other, in fair institutions. Ricoeur engages the question of ethics in the self-narrative as a other. Ricoeur states that if it could be possible to see myself as another, it could be also possible to see the other like my self. According to him, this process implies justice, if it is related to institutions.

Keywords:
Ethics; moral; justice; selfness; otherness.
