This paper concerns the theory of triple mimesis formulated by the contemporary French philosopher, Paul Ricoeur, in his three-volume book Time and Narrative. It is a hermeneutical interpretation of Aristotle’s classic definition of mimesis from his Poetics. Ricoeur’s argument is aimed at proving that the way an imitative transformation of the reality in a narrative operates actually presupposes a circular relation between the living experience and the narrative, which mutually determine each other. The main aim of this paper is to answer the question of how the communication between the author, the work, and the reader should be viewed in the context of triple mimesisand what factors determine our understanding of a mimetic work of art

This paper contains a polemical analysis of the conception of forgiveness as presented by Paul Ricoeur in his book Memory, history, forgetting, where he defines forgiveness as a liberation of a person from his or her past deed. My main objection is that he mixes up philosophical and theological discourses, which makes his theory paradoxical and vague. I attempt to resolve antinomies of Ricoeur’s view and propose the conception that is based on entirely philosophical, rational argumentation. My principal purposes are, firstly, to present forgiveness as a merely human phenomenon that can be understood without referring to Transcendence and, secondly, to bring out the distinction between an act of forgiveness and a releasing from a punishment which belongs to the order of political institutions and law.
