Ricoeur: A Guide for the Perplexed is an ideal introduction to the work of Paul Ricoeur, one of the giants of contemporary Continental philosophy. This comprehensive guide locates Ricoeur's output in its historical and intellectual context, providing an overview of his central ideas and defining key terms in his philosophical writing. Close attention is paid to each of Ricoeur's major works, including The Conflict of Interpretations and From Text to Action, as well as his importance for particular disciplines such as literary criticism, social theory, political philosophy, and theology. This guide offers constructive and illuminating suggestions for how to read Ricoeur, making it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand this influential philosopher. A major contribution to Ricoeur scholarship in its own right, Ricoeur: A Guide for the Perplexed is an invaluable companion to be read alongside Ricoeur's own works.
