Book Summary of Paul Ricoeur
Paul Ricoeur is one of the most wide-ranging of thinkers alive today. Although nominally a philosopher, his work also cuts across the subjects of literary criticism, psychoanalysis, history, religion legal studies and politics. Its implications are even broader. Ricoeur works out a `theory of reading` or hermeneutics, which extends far beyond the reading of literary works to build into a theory for the reading of `life`. This volume looks at the contexts for Ricoeur`s thought, his key ideas and their impact. These key ideas include: good and evil` hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, metaphor, narrative, ethics, politics and justice isbn
