This abstract explores the late reflections of Paul Ricoeur as revealed in his posthumous manuscript notes. Ricoeur, a preeminent figure in 20th-century hermeneutics and phenomenology, grapples with profound existential and theological questions towards the end of his life. The text highlights his internal dialogue regarding his religious identity, specifically posing the question of whether he remains a Christian. Notably, Ricoeur distances himself from the label of a "Christian philosopher," maintaining a strict methodological distinction between his philosophical inquiries and his personal faith. He further expresses a provocative stance on the afterlife, suggesting that he does not anticipate a personal resurrection. These revelations provide a nuanced perspective on Ricoeur’s intellectual journey, illustrating the tension between philosophical rigor and religious tradition. By examining these private notes, the study sheds light on the complex interplay of hope, mortality, and the limits of language in Ricoeur’s final philosophical and theological considerations, offering a more intimate portrait of a thinker who spent his life navigating the intersections of text, action, and existence.
