Abstract
This paper presents the critique of reason as one of the foremost philosophical tasks. Arguing that we are in need of renewing this task today in order to put forward a critique of “miserable reason”, understood here as the dominant use of reason that identifies it with technoscientific and economic reductionisms, the paper shows to what extent Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy can contribute to spell out this critique.
