In this volume, Paul Ricoeur investigates the antinomy between
history and truth, or between historicity and meaning. He argues
that history has meaning insofar as it approaches universality and
system, but has no meaning insofar as this universality violates
the singularity of individuals' lives. Imposing unity upon truth,
or unifying the diversity of knowledge and opinion, creates a
singular and universal history but destroys historicity and
subjectivity. Allowing for singularities in history promotes a
multiplicity of truths over a single, unique truth, and thereby
annihilates system.
