Abstract
This essay relates to three major themes in Ricoeur’s oeuvre, themes that recur throughout but with considerable development. These are: philosophy of language, ethics and politics, and philosophical anthropology. Although Ricoeur is not a system-builder as such, these themes and their interrelations help us to see the systematic character of his thought, how each area has a distinct treatment, yet interconnects with the others.
