PAUL RICOEUR

Paul Ricoeur is one of the most important critical thinkers to emerge

in the twentieth century. His unique ‘theory of reading’ or hermeneutics

extends far beyond the reading of literary works to build into a theory

for the reading of ‘life’. As a result of this, such works as Philosophy of

the Will, The Rule of Metaphor, Time and Narrative and Oneself as Another

have impacted upon the widest range of disciplines, from literary criti-

cism and philosophy to history, religion, legal studies and politics.

In this stimulating guide, Karl Simms explores Ricoeur’s most

inﬂuential ideas, touching upon such concepts as good and evil, psycho-

analysis, hermeneutics, metaphor, narrative, ethics, politics and justice.

Crucially, he also places these ideas in context and looks at their contin-

uing impact, in this way introducing important trends in contemporary

thought. Throughout this volume, the author prepares us for our own

reading of Ricoeur’s work, and this culminates in an extensively anno-

tated guide to his major publications.

Refreshingly clear and impressively comprehensive, Paul Ricoeur is

the essential guide to an essential theorist.

Karl Simms is Director of the English-Philosophy joint programme at

the University of Liverpool and a lecturer in English Language and

Literature. He is the editor of Ethics and the Subject (1997), Language and

the Subject (1997) and Translating Sensitive Texts (1997).
