Aspectos narrativos de la identidad personal

in this paper i will try to show the need to resort to a narrative conception of personal identity. in order to do so, i will take the most significant lines on personal identity and i will show their weaknesses and gaps. such weaknesses are generated by the lack of narrative dimension. firstly, i will analyze the "descriptive" line of the personal identity; i will take parfit's work, and i will try to contrast with it the "narrativistic" arguments of macintyre and ricoeur. then i will turn to the normative theory, as it is elaborated by tugendhat, in order to show how the narrative identity allows a better comprehension of the personal identity problem. in fact, the personal identity seems to involve a mixture of possession and dispossession, action and inaction, that only a narration can combine giving the identity unity and totality.
