Paul Ricoeur: The Promise and Risk of PoliticsRowman & Littlefield, 1998 - 339 pagina's "Paul Ricoeur is undoubtedly one of the most distinguised philosophers of the twentieth century, and this is the first book that critically examines his substantial and distinctive contribution to political theory. Prominent scholar Bernard P. Dauenhauer identifies an intellectual unity in Ricoeur's examinations of action, history, time, and language. The author argues that the central feature of Ricoeur's political thought is his claim that everything political is both paradoxical and historical. Dauenhauer details the influences of Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel on Ricoeur's thinking, as well as his intellectual dialogue with such interlocutors as Habermas, Levinas, Rawls, and Walzer. This engaging book is essential reading for anyone interested in the state of contemporary political thought and philosophy."--Page 4 de la couverture. |
