This article approaches the understanding of human formation from the perspective of narrative in Paul Ricœur’s work Oneself as another. It is based on the understanding that the narrative is not limited by its linguistic plot, but, because it allows the elaboration of experiences, the narrative provides the attribution of meaning and the significance of existence, being constitutive of the subject. The question that guides this study is: to what extent does narrative make it possible to think about an enlarged notion of subject, capable of contributing to the reading of one’s experiences and of the world? Our hypothesis is based on the bond between experience and narrative - which occurs in and through dialogue - is that meanings are attributed, which provides the opportunity to enlarge understandings and significations of oneself, of the other, and of the world, allowing the postulation of an enlarged notion of human formation. To accomplish this purpose, we divided this study into three sections, searching firstly to find in the idea of narrative, aspects that enable to understand the constitution of the subject. In the second section, we emphasize the formative perspective of narrative as self-formation. And, in a third moment, we analyze some traces of the narrative that permit the thinking of a renewed and enlarged subject formation perspective, capable of being light to the contemporary challenges of a complex and plural society.
