Summary/Abstract: In this article we show, invoking the principle of hermeneuticequity formulated by Georg Friedrich Meier in Versuch einer allgemeinen Auslegungsunst, that the perspective of the episodic self proposed by Galen Strawson is hermeneutically abusive, referring to the hermeneutic of the narrative self, as it appears in the works of Paul Ricœur. Also, in this paper we analyse the principle of hermeneutic equity , we present the narrative self within the Ricœrean philosophy, and we show that Strawson's arguments against the narrative of the self are false and abusive. We offer in each section a few observations that can show the reader new research directions.
