Ricœur already asserted in his 1963 article ‘Structure et herméneutique’: ‘never shall we be able to do hermeneutics without structuralism,’ (Esprit, n° 322, nov. 1962, p. 653, translated from original). He reaffirms this statement in Du texte à l’action where structural analysis and hermeneutics are said to be ‘complementary’ (op. cit., p. 172).
