Abstract

Starting thematising Paul Ricoeur’s tardive recognition in France, the author examines in this paper the reception of Paul Ricoeur’s philosophical research in Italy and the role played by this Nation. He particularly focuses on the contribution offered by Domenico Jervolino and Naples’ Istituto Italiano per gli Studi Filosofici (IISF). The perspective of a scholar emerges which both sustained as well as influenced Ricoeur’s work of research and realized in Naples one of the most important laboratories of study and research around different themes. He also generated an original, extraordinarily significant and actual philosophical perspective, that of a philosophy of translation.
