Paul Ricoeur in the Age of Hermeneutical Reason

Poetics, Praxis, and Critique

Edited by Roger W. H. Savage - Contributions by Marcel Hénaff; Marc de Leeuw; Annalisa Caputo; David Pellauer; Anna Borisenkova; Todd S. Mei; George H. Taylor; Roger W. H. Savage; Marianne Moyaert; Richard Kearney and Timo Helenius

Poetics, Praxis and Critique: Paul Ricoeur in the Age of Hermeneutical Reason addresses contemporary problems of justice, the recognition of disabled persons, the role of imagination in political judgment, the need for religious hospitality and carnal hermeneutics. The essays in this volume are a testament to the power of hermeneutical reason. Following Paul Ricoeur’s style of philosophizing, they explore innovative solutions to pressing issues of our time. Individually, these essays advance new perspectives on the anthropological presuppositions behind the requirement of justice, the role played by convictions and beliefs in pluralistic contexts, and the place of a post-critical religious faith. Together, they demonstrate the value of a hermeneutical mode of reasoning in an age in which conflicts, tensions and violence abound. Their thoughtful engagement with current challenges attests to this volume’s conviction that we, with others, have the ability to intervene in the course of the world to the benefit of all.

Savage has put together an important set of essays, which demonstrates various ways in which Ricoeur’s thought and work can offer solutions to a range of problems in contemporary practical philosophy. Each essay expertly considers new and pressing questions in this developing area of Ricoeur scholarship. But the collection is not simply a valuable contribution to how we might understand Ricoeur: it shows its readers intriguing new ways of thinking with and after the philosopher. It is a fine example of the continuing significance of hermeneutic reason as an interpretative approach.
— Eileen Brennan, Études Ricœuriennes/Ricœur Studies


This fine book testifies to the ongoing relevance of the work of Paul Ricoeur. Engaging with wide-ranging contemporary issues, such as those of power, violence, capacities, fragility, justice, responsibility, and recognition, the various authors of this volume draw on Ricoeur’s intellect, wisdom, and compassion, to sustain this age of hermeneutic reason.
