About the Contributors
"This admirable volume provides a much needed overview of Paul Ricoeur’s philosophy of the body. The first collection on this theme, it contains both important new scholarship and innovative essays that develop philosophical proposals drawing from Ricoeur's insights into our bodily existence. Roger W. H. Savage and the talented writers who contributed to this volume have produced a work that is certain to become essential reading for anyone intrigued by the extraordinary potential of this underresearched area of Ricoeur’s work."
