Journal Title: Miscellanea Anthropologica et Sociologica - Year 2016, Vol 17, Issue 2

Abstract

The article is an analysis of the meaning of autobiography and biography in Dilthey’s hermeneuticsof the historical life. In this way, it shows Dilthey’s influence on the concept ofin contemporary philosophy. Starting from the methodological and epistemological aspectof research on the autobiography, this article shows the role of autobiography in selfunderstanding,and in understanding their own identity. The reference to Ricoeur, Mac-Intyre and Taylor enables discovery of similarities and differences between them and thephilosophy of Dilthey. The most important difference lies in the fact that contemporaryauthors direct their attention to the ethical dimension of the concept of narrative identity.
