本文以呂格爾之哲學方法為主軸，透過其解析之奧斯定哲學的時間概念導出懺悔概念，藉此整合出呂格爾的三重模擬論，並以其中的勾勒形構之概念，探討時間概念如何在懺悔的整體活動中表現具關鍵意義的隱喻。本文以此探討懺悔與勾勒形構的動作之關係，希望透過呂格爾哲學的思想，研究天主教之宗教儀式中，語言與吾人如何可透過哲學轉化而掌握自身與神聖者的關係。懺悔的整體活動是本文設定的主要對象，透過呂格爾關於隱喻與勾勒形構的思維，本文希望可以為當代宗教研究提出新的視角。

The paper focuses on Paul Ricoeur's philosophy. Through his analysis on Augustine's concept of time, Ricoeur introduces the concept of confession, in order to integrate his own idea on the threefold mimesis. Ricoeur develops the total activity of confession in order to develop how to use the idea of time to present that, the confessional metaphor is the main core of the meaning. The paper wants to discuss the relation between confession and the figuring. We wish to apply Ricoeur's thought on the Catholic religious ceremony, language and our attitude on how to use philosophy to be a transformation. Through philosophy, we may obtain certain relation between self and the Sacred. Through Ricoeur's discussion, the paper wishes to provide contemporary philosophy as religious dimension, to settle the total activity of confession as main object, through metaphor and figure, we provide this religious dimension. We wish to provide the new perspective from Ricoeur's idea as one new angle for the research.
