Reading Ricoeur through Law, edited by Marc de Leeuw, George H.
Taylor, and Eileen Brennan, is the first collection of essays
solely focused on Ricoeur's thinking about law, bringing together
both established and emerging scholars to offer a systematic and
critical examination of Ricoeur's legal thinking. The chapters not
only explore the specific contribution Ricoeur makes to the field
of jurisprudence but also examine how Ricoeur's work on law fits,
complements, or changes his overall anthropology, phenomenology,
and hermeneutics. The book provides a complex insight into how law,
ethics, and politics intertwine both from within law as normative
rule setting, as well as through the wider social-political and
historical context in which law and legal institutions affect our
inter-subjective and communal life as lived "with and for others in
just institutions." The collection also makes available in English
"The Just between the Legal and the Good," a key text in Ricoeur's
reflections about law and justice. The core topics of this
collection are rights, justice, responsibility, judging,
interpretation, argumentation, punishment, and authority, but
contributors but also offer original insights in how Ricoeur's
philosophical reconceptualization of symbolism, action, ideology,
narrative, selfhood, testimony, history, trauma, reconciliation,
justice, and forgiveness can be made productive for our
understanding of law and legal institutions.
