The self itself is like the last

The book "The Self as Other" as the latest work by Paul Ricoeur represents a major event in Ricoeur's scientific career, considered the most important work he has ever presented, and this does not diminish the value of his remaining works but elevates the status of this book. It addresses in this book the last and most enduring fundamental question in all human thought: Who am I? Who am I to be? What is my identity? And what is existence? A book that is considered a revolution in Ricoeur's thinking and in philosophical thought, reflecting Ricoeur's courage to address and discuss this issue despite the deliberate avoidance and neglect by major philosophers in the manner Ricoeur took.
