THE CONCEPT OF LIFE BETWEEN GADAMER AND RICOEUR

Summary/Abstract: Life. Such a simple word. Yet, such powerful meanings. The purpose of this paper is to show how life isseen by two strong names that hold a leading place in our history and in our minds. It is important toknow were we are standing, what points of view we can have as guidance and how we can shift from oneto another in order to achieve the perspective that truly defines us. We might agree with what others haveto say but at the same we might be in complete denying of what they have to say. And it is more thanalright to be this way. Because it all comes down to life, as one sees it, as one perceives it, as onedescribes it, as one feels it. This life is filled with paradoxes, almost everywhere we look. But I believe,that in the end, this is the beauty of it. You can never get tired or get bored because there will always besomething else to look forward to or to try and comprehend.
