Paul Ricoeur is one of the giants of contemporary continental
philosophy and one of the most enduring and wide-ranging thinkers
in the twentieth century, publishing major works ranging from
existentialism and phenomenology to psychoanalysis, politics,
religion and the theory of language. Richard Kearney offers a
critical engagement with the work of Ricoeur, beginning with a
general introduction to his hermeneutic philosophy. Part one
explores some of the main themes in Ricouer's thought under six
headings: phenomenology and hermeneutics; language and imagination;
myth and tradition; ideology and utopia; evil and alterity; poetics
and ethics. The second part comprises five dialogical exchanges
which Kearney has conducted with Ricoeur over the last three
decades (1977-2003), charting and explaining his intellectual
itinerary. This book is aimed at a broad student readership as well
as the general intelligent reader interested in knowing more about
one of the most enduring major figures in contemporary continental
philosophy.
