Sommario/riassunto

Paul RicoeurGs entire philosophical project narrates a Gpassion for the possibleG expressed in the hope that in spite of death, closure, and sedimentation, life is opened by superabundance, by how the world gives us much more than is possible. RicoeurGs philosophical anthropology is a phenomenology of human capacity, that gives onto the groundless ground of human being, namely, God. Thus the story of the capable man, beginning with original goodness held captive by a servile will and ending with the possibility of liberation and regeneration of the heart, underpins his passion for the more than possible.
