The relationship between self-concern in stoicism and Paul Rıcoeur's self-concern

Philosophy, which started with the Ancient Greek period, continued with many schools in the process. Philosophy has been divided into more than one field within itself, bringing wise people and philosophers to the society and enabling new ideas to emerge with the development of philosophers' thoughts in the process. The relationship between the thoughts of Stoic philosophy, which claims that the universe exists with a divine power, and that achieving virtue and happiness is through self-knowledge and submission to fate, and Paul Ricoeur's thoughts on self-anxiety is the subject of our study. The study has been enriched with a comprehensive literature review and many works related to the subject have been examined. In the first part, Stoic philosophy is included, and in the second part of the study, Paul Ricoeur is discussed. In the third and last part, the connections between Paul Ricoeur's self-concern, which is the main subject of the research, and Stoa's self-thought are tried to be explained. Based on the information obtained throughout the study, the conclusion part was written.
