On Paul Ricoeur’s Theory Of Subjectivity

The subjectivity problem is the relationship between people’s living situation, value and significance of critical theory and practical issues. Therefore, the theory of subjectivity is the field of philosophy and the humanities important proposition. Since Descartes "I think therefore I am" emerged, through the development of Kant, Fichte and Young Hegel, the theory was up to the mountaintop. However, since the20th century, especially since World War II, with the rise of the emerging discipline of psychoanalysis, linguistics, structuralism, disconstructionism, the construction of the subjectivity theories have been seriously questioned and subjected to fierce criticism. Lacanian’s "subject" marked with a slash, Foucault claimed that "people will be erased ", and instantly, the theory of subjectivity is discredited. Faced with the situation teetered on the "subject" and the threat of the "dis-subject" theory, Paul·Transfer dissatisfied with such an extreme ideology, and criticized it. With the reflection principle and the "origin" theory, Ricoeur reflected and criticized Descartes’s theory of "absolute subjectivity " and psychoanalysis, structuralism, theory of "without subjectivity ".And on this basis, he constructed the reflection principal theory of subjectivity. Paul Ricoeur’s theoretical construction not only has the philosophical significance, but also has important practical significance and methodological significance. Of course, Ricoeur’s theory of subjectivity also has some limitations that he did not think about the validity of their theory and the limited nature of the reflection principle.
