The Conflict of Interpretations

About this book

This collection brings together twenty-two essays by Paul Ricoeur under the topics of structuralism psychoanalysis hermeneutics and religion. In dramatic conciseness the essays illuminate the work of one of the leading philosophers of the day. Those interested in Ricoeurs development of the philosophy of language will find rich and suggestive reading. But the diversity of essays also speaks beyond the confines of philosophy to linguists theologians psychologists and psychoanalysts.
