This question lies behind the so-called �human sciences.� But these disciplines are scattered among many different departments and hold up a cracked mirror to humankind. This is why, in the view of Paul Ricoeur, we need to develop a philosophical anthropology, one that has a much older history but still offers many untapped resources.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis appeal to a specifically philosophical approach to questions regarding what it was to be human did not stop Ricoeur from entering into dialogue with other disciplines and approaches, such as psychoanalysis, history, sociology, anthropology, linguistics and the philosophy of language, in order to offer an up-to-date reflection on what he saw as the fundamental issues. For there is clearly not a simple, single answer to the question �what is it to be human?� Ricoeur therefore takes up the complexity of this question in terms of the tensions he sees between the �voluntary� and the �involuntary,� �acting� and �suffering,� �autonomy� and �vulnerability,� �capacity� and �fragility,� and �identity� and �otherness.�\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe texts brought together in this volume provide an overall view of the development of Ricoeur�s philosophical thinking on the question of what it is to be human, from his early 1939 lecture on �Attention� to his remarks on receiving the Kluge Prize in 2004, a few months before his death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Ricoeur is (1913-2005) is widely recognized as one of the most distinguished philosophers of the twentieth century.
