Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion

Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) was one of the most prolific French philosophers of the 20th Century. This book offers an insightful examination of Ricoeur's hermeneutics, a central concept in his work. It takes a thematic approach that explores his lifelong struggle to be both iconoclastic and yet hopeful, and avoid the slippery slope to relativism.
