This article aims at showing how the confession is, for both Paul Ricoeur and Michel Foucault, a conceptual access to the hermeneutics. However, if the confession serves, according to Ricoeur, a phenomenological anthropology of the « guilty man » that is linked to an hermeneutics of the finitude, for Foucault, the confession is rather a technique of governmentality that can be analysed through a genealogy of ethics. The philosophical problem of the confession then becomes a way of picking up two aporias inherent in those respective conceptions of the ethical subject.

The concept of a capable subject and the attestation of that subject's ethical intention are central to Paul Ricoeur's hermeneutic phenomenology. He sums up ethical intention as the ability to aim to live a fulfilled life, with and for others, within appropriate institutions. On the other hand, the available empirical evidence in moral psychology points rather toward the pre-eminence of automatic processes, emotion and intuition in moral judgments. In a digital age, this brings new challenges for moral education.

This article attempts to show that different conflicts and tensions revealed by the ethics of care are overshadowed by Ricoeur's ethics. Firstly, the author distances himself from the criticism developed by Tronto, who claims that Ricoeur develops an abstract and conceptual ethics. Secondly, he references the literature on the “care chain,” “intersectionality,” and the gender division of labour care to show that, in our societies, the concept of care is fraught with a fundamental tension: it designates normative practices and domination. This tension seems hardly comprehensible in Ricoeur because, between interpersonal relationships and institutions, the level of inter-group relations is lacking in Ricoeur's ethics. Furthermore, without actually specifying the form that practical wisdom can take at the collective level, it is not really possible to think through the conditions of politicizing the issues of care. The article ends by showing that the ethics of care, meanwhile, attempts to resolve these tensions through proper collective actions: reorganization of care work, public discussion of needs, etc.
