IV.2. La Catastrophe et son destin singulier dans l’œuvre de Paul Ricœur

A chronological albeit non-exhaustive reading of the immense body of work of Paul Ricœur reveals constant references to World War II and the years preceding the war. As early as 1949, Ricœur, who read Jaspers, appears to take measure of what he terms the catastrophe and makes plans to analyze its d...

As early as 1949, Ricœur, who read Jaspers, appears to take measure of what he terms the catastrophe and makes plans to analyze its deep impact on philosophy. Throughout his work, he discusses Auschwitz in relation to narratology, the narrative identity, totalitarianism and the relationship between history and memory. However, the Shoah is only ever encountered and mentioned indirectly and in terms that give the impression that Paul Ricœur was not able to distinguish the specific tragedy of the Shoah from the overarching tragedy of the deportation. Can the philosopher’s inability to do so be sufficiently explained by the rarity of references to historians of the Jewish genocide? Is it also due to his use of the concept of “totalitarianism,” which in turn serves as an obstacle to understanding the Shoah and grasping its specificity? What role does guilt play in the uniqueness of this theoretical fate of the catastrophe, which affected all of humanity in 1949 and could be said to have affected the narrative identity of the Jewish community alone in 2000?
