Summary/Abstract: This paper is to present the notion of man as the keyword in the philosophy of Paul Ricœur, which can be referred to as philosophical anthropology. The article is based on an analysis of three conceptual metaphors chosen in Le volontaire et l’involontaire. The author applies the theory of the linguistic picture of the world and some issues of cognitive linguistics. She uses primarily the concept of conceptual metaphors by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, in particular the metaphor of a container (MAN AS A CONTAINER). The discussion centres on three metaphors MAN AS A DECISION, MAN AS AN ACTION and MAN AS A CONSENT defining in part the notion of man in Le volontaire et l’involontaire.
