Description

Paul Ricoeur's philosophical project revolves around a "passion for the possible", driven by the hope that life can be enriched despite its limitations. His philosophical anthropology explores human capacity, revealing the underlying ground of human existence as a connection to something greater. The essays in this volume examine the fluid relationship between phenomenological and religious descriptions of the self, tracing Ricoeur's thought across his oeuvre. This collection establishes connections for future developments that may draw inspiration from his work. By exploring Ricoeur's ideas on human capacity and the possibility of liberation, readers can gain insight into a philosophical project that seeks to understand the nature of existence and our place within it.
