This book presents Ricoeur's work in the 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 enables a new understanding of intercultural questions by revealing the common human condition that the various cultures manifest.
