In his hermeneutics of memory, Ricoeur points to the dialectic character of the interrelation between remembering and forgetting. He abandons an understanding of forgetting as limited only to oblivion, or to deletion in the Bergsonian use of the term. He supplants the negativity of forgetting by the productivity of disremembering, and stretches forgetting to its reserve, to the dynamic unveiling of the details of past events, with varied degrees of truthfulness and accuracy. This article attempts to demonstrate that the positivity of forgetting in the context of reconciliation is a tangible possibility. Forgetting is viewed here as a positive, constructive faculty, which influences the future, makes it possible to create and shape it, and is opposed to a slavish adherence to memory anchored wholly in the past. The totality of the anchorage in the past results in an exclusive focus on remembering, and causes the impasse of being entrapped in a disconsolate past. We ascertain that forgetting is not a failure but rather a productive possibility, either self- -creative or purgative, to educate oneself and the Other towards a more promising future.

This essay develops Peirce’s concept of icons and iconicity as well as Jakobson’s concept of the diagram, and considers mainly the possibilities of expressing diagrammatic iconicity in texts – for example, the system of narrative times, the placement of text categories (Ricoeur’s conception of configuration) and the phenomenon of “naturalizing the text” (Jonathan Culler’s term), which enable one to understand a text. The essay, first published in the volume Ré-inventer le réel / Re-inventing the Real: Actes du colloque international (1999), was based on Pier’s papers delivered at the colloquium of the same name, held in Tours, on 26–27 September 1997; it now has a preface by Ondřej Sládek (pp 820-824).

The article is devoted to one of the central problems of philosophy, which is a human identity, based on Ricoeur’s „philosophy of recognition”. This French philosopher refers to literary examples of recognition and to search for identity. He chooses Oedipus as a hero of „struggle for recognition”. Oedipus’ life drama shows a mysterious sense of human history. The source of hero’s misery lies in the destiny – a superior force that rules the world. Confronting the fate and drama self-recognition is accomplished.
