Summary/Abstract: The primary intention of this text is to discuss Ricœur’s threefold understanding of the notion of mimesis, with dual aim. On the one hand, we are pointing out the importance of the role which some of the central elements of Ricœur’s three-volume study Time and Narrative can have for engendering the so-called ’narrative method’. The said ’narrative method’ should indicate the fundamentally story-telling character of the language. On the other hand, if we construct the narrative method in such a manner, it can also be used concurrently on the very notions from which we started, formulated by Ricœur. This paper is a direct result of such transverse developments.
