List of Contributors
Feminist Explorations of Paul Ricoeur's Philosophy gathers contributions from both world-renowned scholars of Ricoeur's thought and leading feminist thinkers. It is a provocative and ambitious book that both locates in Ricoeur's philosophical project voices not commonly associated with his work and demonstrates their significance. Halsema and Henriques provide Ricoeur scholars and philosophy students in general with a multi-perspective view on how far the conflict of interpretations can go without losing sight of the central tenets of Ricoeur's phenomenological hermeneutics.... [I]t will certainly provide those with a philosophical background with a subtler grasp of topics and arguments the neutrality of which is often, wrongly, taken for granted.
— Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy
This book provides an implicit answer to the main dilemma of Feminist theories facing philosophical traditions. These didn’t pay enough attention to discrimination of women and to inequalities; should critical approaches prevail over a close exploration of classic and contemporary texts? How could we re-examine the philosophical canon from gender perspective? In this book, multidisciplinary and multinational, the authors analyze Hermeneutics and, in particular, P. Ricoeurs’s contribution; they explore an alternative version of some practical issues, such as ethical capacities, the quest for recognition, cosmopolitanism, hospitality, and universal principles like justice.
The book brings together updated interpretations of P.Ricoeur’s theory and gender accounts of current and complex questions. It is organized into three sections that draw close hermeneutic Phenomenology to other philosophical voices, from S. de Beauvoir to J. Butler and N. Fraser. It also demonstrates that this dialogue or appropriation was possible and, now, it could continue.
