Opis

No contemporary thinker has participated in more intellectual debates in the post-war period than Paul Ricoeur. His writings evolved from an initial concern with existentialism and phenomenology, through structuralism and psychoanalysis and the work he undertook within the hermeneutic tradition, to his recent studies in metaphor and narrative. This introduction is the first study to survey the entire range of Ricoeur's work and, exploiting the obvious thematic parallels, situates it within the context of post-structuralism. It includes a discussion of Ricoeur's Time and Narrative, a work likely to provide significant contributions to the theory of narrative.

Recenzje

`Clark does indeed provide an inclusive expository account of the body of Ricoeur's thought, including ample reference to its philosophical sources and theological resonances ... Interweaving exposition and critical comparison, Clark provides a close survey of his subject that will be of special value to those already familiar with post-structuralist theorising.' - David J.Levy, THES
