Bücher von Paul Ricoeur

Paul Ricoeurs letztes großes Buch ist sein philosophisches Vermächtnis. Der bedeutende französische Philosoph nimmt hier die Fäden seines eindrucksvollen Werks auf und führt sie zusammen: die besondere Erfahrung seiner selbst als anderen, die Frage der Identität, die Bedeutung des Dialogs und des wechselseitigen Austauschs. Glanzstück des Buches sind jedoch seine Überlegungen zu einer Theorie der Anerkennung, die er in drei Schritten - Erkennen, Wiedererkennen, Anerkanntsein - bestimmt. Wir können nur etwas erkennen und anerkennen, so Ricoeur, wenn wir selbst erkannt und anerkannt werden.

Collected and translated by John B. Thompson, this collection of essays by Paul Ricoeur includes many that had never appeared in English before the volume's publication in 1981. As comprehensive as it is illuminating, this lucid introduction to Ricoeur's prolific contributions to sociological theory features his more recent writings on the history of hermeneutics, its central themes and issues, his own constructive position and its implications for sociology, psychoanalysis and history. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Charles Taylor, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this classic work has been revived for a new generation of readers.

The most accessible of Ricoeur's early texts, Fallible Man offers an introduction to phenomenological method.

Paul Ricoeur was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. In this book, he turns to a topic at the heart of much of his work: What is translation and why is it so important? He reminds us that translation not only spreads knowledge but can change its very meaning.
