In the first two volumes of this work, Paul Ricoeur examined the
relations between time and narrative in historical writing,
fiction, and theories of literature. This final volume, a
comprehensive reexamination and synthesis of the ideas developed in
volumes 1 and 2, stands as Ricoeur's most complete and satisfying
presentation of his own philosophy.
Ricoeur's aim here is to explicate as fully as possible the
hypothesis that has governed his inquiry, namely, that the effort
of thinking at work in every narrative configuration is completed
in a refiguration of temporal experience. To this end, he sets
himself the central task of determing how far a poetics of
narrative can be said to resolve the "aporias"--the doubtful or
problematic elements--of time. Chief among these aporias are the
conflicts between the phenomenological sense of time (that
experienced or lived by the individual) and the cosmological sense
(that described by history and physics) on the one hand and the
oneness or unitary nature of time on the other. In conclusion,
Ricoeur reflects upon the inscrutability of time itself and
attempts to discern the limits of his own examination of narrative
discourse.
"As in his previous works, Ricoeur labors as an imcomparable
mediator of often estranged philosophical approaches, always in a
manner that compromises neither rigor nor creativity."--Mark Kline
Taylor, "Christian Century "
"In the midst of two opposing contemporary options--either to flee
into ever more precious readings . . . or to retreat into ever more
safe readings . . . --Ricoeur's work offers an alternative option
that is critical, wide-ranging, and conducive to new
applications."--Mary Gerhart, "Journal of Religion"
