Brian Gregor - Ricoeurs Hermeneutics of Religion

Ricoeurs Hermeneutics of Religion

Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricoeur

Series Editors: Greg S. Johnson, Pacific Lutheran University/Oxford University (ELAC), and Dan R. Stiver, Hardin-Simmons University

Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricoeur, a series in conjunction with the Society for Ricoeur Studies, aims to generate research on Ricoeur, in whom interest is rapidly growing both nationally (United States and Canada) and internationally. Broadly construed, the series has three interrelated themes. First, we develop the historical connections to and in Ricoeurs thought. Second, we extend Ricoeurs dialogue with contemporary thinkers representing a variety of disciplines. Third, we utilize Ricoeur to address future prospects in philosophy and other fields that respond to emerging issues of importance. The series approaches these themes from the belief that Ricoeurs thought not only is suited to theoretical exchanges, but also can and does matter for how we actually engage in the many dimensions that constitute lived existence.
