Opposed to the Cartesian notion of the self, Ricoeur posits a notion of the self as indirect, which characterises hermeneutics as a philosophy of “detours”...

...according to Ricoeur... A human does not find herself having immediate, direct access to a world, using language as a layer on top of this world to refer to it. Instead, her experience and understanding of the world are mediated through lan- guage and can therefore only be understood by means of a detour through language, involving aspects such as symbols, metaphors and narrative.
...
For both Simmel and Ricoeur, therefore, humans are intermediate beings whose access to the world, to others, and to themselves, is in each case mediated.
