More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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; good and evil; 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.

An Amazing Study of and Engagement with Ricoeur
14 Dec 2004
Format:Paperback
Paul Ricoeur is a philosophical and theological thinker whose scope and economy of writing is unmatched in this age. Still more, it is difficult to find philosophers and theologians who can adequately engage with him. That the author, Richard Kearney, was a former student of Ricoeur's still makes no guarantee that he can do so. But Kearney does, indeed.
Kearney's book is first class in this field of thinking on Ricoeur. I would consider it as important as any of Ricoeur's own books. Though it is not "critical", this books lays out a wonderful exposition of many of Ricoeur's points. In this sense, it is better than a critical approach which often puts the progect of critiquing before understanding what is being read or thought.

Adapting Ricoeur to a social field model
4 Oct 2008
Format:Paperback
[[ASIN:0754650189 On Paul Ricoeur: The Owl of Minerva (Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology) (Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology) (Transcending Boundaries in Philosophy and Theology)] Excellent for my purposes. Kearney links key Ricoeur ideas into subject chapters that make systemic inquiry more feasible for a non-philosopher.
