This article approaches the problem of Paul Ricoeur’s personal identity’s ethical dimension. This personal identity’s ethical dimension is presented in three parts. First, we define what does the subject’s personal identity mean, based on the subject’s understanding of his/her-self. Second, we point out how this identity is expressed through narrative. Finally, we show how the aforementioned ethos is narratively understood, thus inspiring the worlds of culture, history, literature, and politics.
