Summary Ricoeur, Culture, and Recognition: A Hermeneutic of Cultural Subjectivity presents Ricoeur's work from the beginning to its end in form of a cultural theory and proposes a cultural hermeneutic that clarifies the cultural facilitation in a person's process of attaining a sense of being a human. This exploration of human being as profoundly formed and influenced by the cultural condition also enables a new understanding of intercultural questions by revealing the common human condition that the various cultures manifest
