Since the mid-twentieth century, Western societies have seen an
unprecedented increase in movements, demands, and policies in favor
of reparations. The historical catastrophes that shook the last
century are both the immediate origin of this groundswell and its
founding paradigm. The Reparable and the Irreparable: Being Human
in the Age of Vulnerability places reparation within a wider
contemporary context and describes it in its full anthropological
depth. Repair is a global phenomenon that does not present itself
in a unified way. Ideas of repair and reparation are expressed at
different levels; for instance, one can mend a damaged object, heal
a wound, redress an injury, or make amends for an offence. Johann
Michel explores how repair and reparation tell us about human
beings' (natural) vulnerability, our (moral) fallibility, and our
(social) incompleteness, but also about the many capabilities we
draw upon to mitigate these shortcomings. It is from the heart of
human finitude that repair and reparation draw meaning, and the
irreparable-whether due to time or to a debt that can never be
repaid-haunt any policy of reparation. Such are the challenges to
be addressed by a philosophy of repair and reparation constructed
in renewed dialogue with the social sciences.
When do we interpret? That is the question at the heart of this
important new work by Johann Michel. The human being does not spend
his time interpreting in everyday life. We interpret when we are
confronted with a blurred, confused, problematic sense. Such is the
originality of the author's perspective which removes the
anthropological interdict that has hampered hermeneutics since
Heidegger. Michel proposes an anthropology of homo interpretans as
the first and founding principle of fundamental ontology (relating
to the meaning of being) as well as of the theory of knowledge
(relating to interpretation in the human sciences). He argues that
the root of hermeneutics lies in ordinary interpretative techniques
(explication, clarification, unveiling), rather than as a set of
learned technologies applied to specific fields (texts, symbols,
actions).
Paul Ricoeur's first book, Freedom and Nature, introduces many
themes that resurface in various ways throughout his later work,
but its significance has been mostly overlooked in the field of
Ricoeur studies. Gathering together an international group of
scholars, The Companion to Freedom and Nature is the first
book-length study to focus exclusively on Freedom and Nature. It
helps readers to understand this complex work by providing careful
textual analysis of specific arguments in the book and by situating
them in relation to Ricoeur's early influences, including
Merleau-Ponty, Nabert, and Ravaisson. But most importantly, this
book demonstrates that Freedom and Nature remains a compelling and
vital resource for readers today, precisely because it resonates
with recent developments in the areas of embodied cognition,
philosophical psychology, and philosophy of the will. Freedom and
Nature is fundamentally a book about embodiment, and it situates
the human body at the crossroads of activity and passivity,
motivation and causation, the voluntary and the involuntary. This
conception of the body informs Ricoeur's unique treatment of topics
such as effort, habit, and attention that are of much interest to
scholars today. Together the chapters of this book provide a
renewed appreciation of this important and innovative work.
In this important and original book, Johann Michel paves the way
for a greater understanding of Paul Ricoeur's philosophy by
exploring it in relation to some major figures of contemporary
French thought-Bourdieu, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault and
Castoriadis. Although the fertile dialogue between Ricoeur and
various structuralist thinkers is well documented, his position in
relation to the post-structuralist movement is less-widely
understood. Does Ricoeur's philosophy stand in opposition to
post-structuralism in France or, on the contrary, is it in fact a
unique variation of that movement? This book defends the latter
statement. Michel speaks of post-structuralisms in the plural form
and engages them in a dynamic confrontation between Ricoeur and his
contemporaries in the French intellectual scene. The result is a
better understanding of Ricoeur's thought and also of the
distinctive issues that emerge through confrontation between
Ricoeur and each of these post-structuralist thinkers.
