Editorial Review Product Description Paul Ricoeur was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. In this short and accessible book, he turns to a topic at the heart of much of his work: What is translation and why is it so important? Reminding us that The Bible, the Koran, the Torah and the works of the great philosophers are often only ever read in translation, Ricoeur reminds us that translation not only spreads knowledge but can change its very meaning. In spite of these risk, he argues that in a climate of ethnic and religious conflict, the art and ethics of translation are invaluable. Drawing on interesting examples such as the translation of early Greek philosophy during the Renaissance, the poetry of Paul Celan and the work of Hannah Arendt, he reflects not only on the challenges of translating one language into another but how one community speaks to another. Throughout, Ricoeur shows how to move through life is to navigate a world that requires translation itself. Paul Ricoeur died in 2005. He was one of the great contemporary French philosophers and a leading figure in hermeneutics, psychoanalytic thought, literary theory and religion. His many books include Freud and Philosophy and Time and Narrative. |

For the Student of Geneologies
Metaphor is the message Ricoeur published this in 1971. He uses Anglo-American philosophy of language extensively. I particularly enjoyed his ability to blend work in aesthetics beginning with Aristotle's Poetics down to some living philosophers who I did not know had published in that area. For instance, he locates in Nelson Goodman's reliance on "expression" in art (what we'd usually call 'style') a transcendent dimension (a 'more' than the sum of the elements in a work of art) as parallel with what in discourse might be called intention (I forget the exact word he used). But again, discourse then has its version of a transcendent dimension that communicates as the sense of the whole -- if a thinker manages to pull that off. What was new to me (in addition to the recent scholarship on classical sources he used) was his thought. My impulse is to compare him unfavorably with Heidegger, by belittling Ricoeur's academic philosophy to Heidegger's existential declaration of the human condition. But he's just as good, in his own way. And while I could complain about his predisposition to work from within the respectable tradition of our western Judeo-Christian civilization (hence he remains 'God's' spokesman), he does not denigrate but uses the outstanding accomplishments of those for whom that tradition has become alien. ...

10. What Makes Us Think?: A Neuroscientist and a Philosopher Argue about Ethics, Human Nature, and the Brain by Jean-Pierre Changeux, Paul Ricoeur | |

Editorial Review Product Description Ranging across diverse traditions, from phrenology to PET scans and from Spinoza to Charles Taylor, What Makes Us Think? revolves around a central issue: the relation between the facts (or "what is") of science and the prescriptions (or "what ought to be") of ethics. Changeux and Ricoeur ask: Will neuroscientific knowledge influence our moral conduct? Is a naturally based ethics possible? Pursuing these questions, they attack key topics at the intersection of philosophy and neuroscience: What are the relations between brain states and psychological experience? Between language and truth? Memory and culture? Behavior and action? What is a mental representation? How does a sign relate to what it signifies? How might subjective experience be constructed rather than discovered? And can biological or cultural evolution be considered progressive? Throughout, Changeux and Ricoeur provide unprecedented insight into what neuroscience can--and cannot--tell us about the nature of human experience. Changeux and Ricoeur bring an unusual depth of engagement and breadth of knowledge to each other's subject. In doing so, they make two often hostile disciplines speak to one another in surprising and instructive ways--and speak with all the subtlety and passion of conversation at its very best.

Wonderful Idea - Falls A Little Short
A Startling Encounter for those willing to do the work This exchange between the Neuro-Scientist and the Philosopher is utterly gripping - but only if you are willing or caoable of the sustained concentration needed to acquire the sophisticated arguments and subtle differentiations that they each make. It is worth doing so. In an age where scientistic triumphalism feels no need to explain itself, its methods, or its assumptions, to a public capable of understanding it (i.e., after the destruction of our education systems and the dumbing down used by the media and the government to prevent any meaningful "political" debate - i.e., the "political" as "that which concerns us all"), this book is some kind of touchstone - and a dozen similar books should be following it on a dozen different science/philosophy topics. For starters, who is informed enough at this level (which this wise people make so accessible to the willing reader) on: stem cell research, the origins of the universe, surveillance technologies, and so many other scientific "advances". If this is the standard of public discourse in France, we are all sadly stupid in comparison. We need such before we perish from our ignorance.

Central ideas for critical engagement Simms' text, following the pattern of the others, includes background information on Ricoeur and its significance, the key ideas and sources, and Ricoeur's continuing impact on other thinkers.As the series preface indicates, no critical thinker arises in a vacuum, so the context, influences and broader cultural environment are all important as a part of the study, something with which Ricoeur would agree. Why is Ricoeur included in this series?Ricoeur is a very wide-ranging thinker, whose influence has extended into psychology, history, politics, linguistics, literary analysis, philosophy, science, and theology (and even further afield).Ricoeur's intention behind the work is that of their being 'good', not in the sense of academic rigour or intellectual soundness (although these qualities are not overlooked), but rather, that they should be ethically good.Simms writes that Ricoeur is a philosopher of faith rather than a philosopher of suspicion, and this places him apart from many of his contemporaries. Ricoeur is also an 'epigenetic' thinker - his thought is cumulative; he builds upon his previous works and influences.This is seen in the construction of this text.The key ideas identified by Simms are Good and Evil, Hermeneutics, Psychoanalysis, Metaphor, Narrative, Ethics, and finally Politics and Justice.As a reader who has studied theology, religion, philosophy and political science, the breadth of Ricoeur is particularly appealing. One of the useful features of the text is the side-bar boxes inserted at various points.For example, during the discussion on Ricoeur's development of Good and Evil, there are brief discussions, set apart from the primary strand of the text, on Phenomenology, the Cartesian Cogito, Existentialism, and Orpheus, developing further these ideas should the reader not be familiar with them, or at least not in the way with which Ricoeur would be working with ideas derived from them.Each section on a key idea spans twenty to thirty pages, with a two-page summary concluding each, which gives a recap of the ideas (and provides a handy reference). My first interest in Ricoeur developed out of an interest in narrative theology, and when tackling his massive 'Time and Narrative', I found it complex and exacting reading.Simms does a brilliant job at putting together the key points of Ricoeur's ideas on narrative, the importance and relationship of history and fiction, the ideas of prefiguration, configuration, and refiguration, and the hermeneutical circle between narratives and life into very accessible language. The concluding chapter, After Ricoeur, highlights some key areas of development in relation to other thinkers, as well as points of possible exploration for the reader.Ricoeur's thought vis-à-vis Derrida (particularly with regard to metaphor), his thought with regard to Heidegger (especially his response to the idea of 'language being the master of man'), and his ideas as they apply to the reading of the Bible appropriately continue to challenge thinkers, and insure Ricoeur remaining a relevant figure in intellectual development. As do the other volumes in this series, Simms concludes with an annotated bibliography of works by Ricoeur, works on Ricoeur, and even a video and website reference. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description At the time of his death in 2005, French philosopher Paul Ricoeur was regarded as one of the great thinkers of his generation. In more than half a century of writing about the essential questions of human life, Ricoeur’s thought encompassed a vast range of wisdom and experience, and he made landmark contributions that would go on to influence later scholars in such areas as phenomenology, hermeneutics, structuralism, and theology. |
