«Finitud y culpabilidad» is a philosophical essay by Paul Ricoeur that explores guilt and the experience of human evil. Ricoeur addresses the absurd and opaque nature of evil, freeing the inquiry from phenomenological analysis. Through the reading of myths of fall, chaos, and exile, Ricoeur examines the language of confession and the symbolism of evil, preparing the ground for an ethical vision of the world where man and his freedom constitute the space for the manifestation of evil.
Jean Paul Gustave Ricœur was a French philosopher best known for combining phenomenological description with hermeneutics. As such, his thought is within the same tradition as other major hermeneutic phenomenologists, such as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Gabriel Marcel. In 2000, he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy for having "revolutionized the methods of hermeneutic phenomenology, expanding the study of textual interpretation to include the broad yet concrete domains of mythology, biblical exegesis, psychoanalysis, theory of metaphor, and narrative theory."
