Reading Religious Ritual with Ricoeur: Between Fragility and Hope
creates a dialogue between Ricoeur's hermeneutic philosophy and the
interpretation of human ritual practices. In the first part of the
book, Christina M. Gschwandtner shows that Ricoeur's account of
religion would be deepened if it were to take into account not only
the biblical texts but also forms of liturgical expression. She
challenges Ricoeur's early reading of the symbol and second
naivete, extends his interpretation of biblical texts and faith to
consider religious actions more fully, and suggests that ritual can
enhance human capacities. The second part of the book employs
Ricoeur's hermeneutics to shed light on the analysis of liturgy,
demonstrating that his accounts of truth, of the world of the text,
of religious language, of the imagination, and of the formation of
identity are all eminently applicable to liturgical experience.
Reading Religious Ritual with Ricoeur argues that one of the most
significant themes in Ricoeur's work-the tension between fragility
and hope-is especially helpful for understanding what liturgy does
and how it functions. Seeing how liturgy and ritual configure
fragility and hope also enriches Ricoeur's account of the role and
function of religion in human experience.
