The Symbolism of Evil is the final book in Ricoeur's early trilogy
on the will. While Freedom and Nature sets aside normative
questions altogether and Fallible Man examines the question of what
makes the bad will possible, here Ricoeur takes up the question of
evil in its actuality. What is the nature of the will that has
succumbed to evil? The question of evil resists reflection and
remains inscrutable, leading Ricoeur to proceed indirectly through
a study of the abundant resources contained in symbols and myths.
Symbols, as Ricoeur famously says, "give rise to thought" and
thereby open up a field of meanings which help to inform a
philosophical reflection on evil. This hermeneutics of symbols
signals an important shift in Ricoeur's philosophical trajectory,
which increasingly turns to language and the various forms of
discourse which harbor multiple meanings. The contributors to this
volume, edited by Scott Davidson, highlight a wide range of
important themes in Ricoeur's treatment of the symbolics of evil
that resonate with current topics in contemporary philosophy and
religion.
