Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to one of the central problems of philosophy, which is a human identity, based on Ricoeur’s „philosophy of recognition”. This French philosopher refers to literary examples of recognition and to search for identity. He chooses Oedipus as a hero of „struggle for recognition”. Oedipus’ life drama shows a mysterious sense of human history. The source of hero’s misery lies in the destiny – a superior force that rules the world. Confronting the fate and drama self-recognition is accomplished.
