ISBN-13: 978-0-691-09285-0, ISBN: 0-691-09285-0

In a remarkable exchange between neuroscientist Jean-Pierre Changeux and philosopher Paul Ricoeur, this book explores the vexed territory between these divergent approaches--and comes to a deeper, more complex perspective on human nature.

ISBN-13: 978-0-226-71332-8, ISBN: 0-226-71332-6

"Time and Narrative builds on Paul Ricoeur's earlier analysis, in The Rule of Metaphor, of semantic innovation at the level of the sentence. Ricoeur here examines the creation of meaning at the textual level, with narrative rather than metaphor as the ruling concern. Ricoeur finds a "healthy circle" between time and narrative: time is humanized to the extent that it portrays temporal experience. Ricoeur proposes a theoretical model of th ..."

"Why do major historical events such as the Holocaust occupy the forefront of the collective consciousness, while profound moments such as the Armenian genocide, the McCarthy era, and France's role in North Africa stand distantly behind? Is it possible that history "overly remembers" some events at the expense of others? A landmark work in philosophy, Paul Ricoeur's Memory, History, Forgetting examines this reciprocal relationship betwee ..."

"In volume 1 of this three-volume work, Paul Ricoeur examined the relations between time and narrative in historical writing. Now, in volume 2, he examines these relations in fiction and theories of literature. Ricoeur treats the question of just how far the Aristotelian concept of "plot" in narrative fiction can be expanded and whether there is a point at which narrative fiction as a literary form not only blurs at the edges but ceases ..."

"The second is that which Luc Boltanski and Laurent Thévenot present in their De la justification: les economies de la grandeur.2 In this book, it is the idea of justification and not directly that of justice that provides the focus, while it is the cities and worlds governed by what the subtitle calls economies of scale or standing that introduce plurality at the very heart of the. 1.

ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-0530-0, ISBN: 0-8101-0530-6

"Paul Ricoeur was one of the foremost interpreters and translators of Edmund Husserl's philosophy. These nine essays present Ricoeur's interpretation of the most important of Husserl's writings, with emphasis on his philosophy of consciousness rather than his work in logic. In Ricoeur's philosophy, phenomenology and existentialism came of age and these essays provide an introduction to the Husserlian elements which most heavily influence ..."

"How do human beings become human? This question lies behind the so-called ï¿½human sciences.ï¿½ But these disciplines are scattered among many different departments and hold up a cracked mirror to humankind. This is why, in the view of Paul Ricoeur, we need to develop a philosophical anthropology, one that has a much older history but still offers many untapped resources. This appeal to a specifically philosophical approach to questio ..."

Paperback, 544 Pages, Published 2007 by Northwestern University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-8101-2398-4, ISBN: 0-8101-2398-3

"This volume, the first part of Paul Ricoeur's "Philosophy of the Will", is an eidetics, carried out within carefully imposed phenomenological brackets. It seeks to deal with the essential structure of man's being in the world, and so it suspends the distorting dimensions of existence, the bondage of passion, and the vision of innocence, to which Ricoeur returns in his later writings. The result is a conception of man as an incarnate Cog ..."
