Paul Ricoeur was one of the giants of contemporary Continental
philosophy. He also knew and drew upon the Analytic tradition. Over
a long life, he pursued questions of philosophical anthropology as
they relate to a good life, lived with and for others in just
institutions. His work has been translated into numerous languages
and widely discussed by legal theorists, historians, literary
critics, and theologians as well as philosophers. Ricoeur: A Guide
for the Perplexed is the ideal text to support anyone trying to
reach a firm understanding of this important contemporary
philosopher. The guide locates Ricoeur's output in its historical
and intellectual context, provides an overview ofRicoeur's central
ideas and defines carefully the key terms in his philosophical
writing. Close attention is paid to each of Ricoeur's major works,
including The Conflict of Interpretations and From Text to Action.
Ricoeur's importance for particular disciplines - including
literary criticism, social theory, political philosophy and
theology - is explained and explored. Above all, this Guide for the
Perplexed offers constructive and illuminating suggestions for how
to read Ricoeur. A major contribution to Ricoeur scholarship in its
own right, it is also an invaluable companion to be read alongside
Ricoeur's own works.
