Editorial Review Product Description Opening with three key essays from Ricoeur himself - on Europe, fragility and responsibility, and love and justice - the book offers a fascinating tour of his work ranging across topics such as the hermeneutics of action, narrative force, the other and deconstruction while discussing his work in the context of other key figures including Heidegger, L[ac]evinas, Arendt and Gadamer. A very useful overview of Paul Ricoeur's enormous contribution to modern thought, the book will be invaluable for students and academics across the social and human sciences and philosophy. |

Editorial Review Product Description When French philosopher Paul Ricoeur died in 2005, he bequeathed to the world a highly regarded, widely influential body of work which established him as one of the greatest thinkers of our time. He also left behind a number of unfinished projects that are gathered here and translated into English for the first time. Living Up to Death consists of one major essay and nine fragments. Composed in 1996, the essay is the kernel of an unrealized book on the subject of mortality. Likely inspired by his wife’s approaching death, it examines not one’s own passing but one’s experience of others dying. Ricoeur notes that when thinking about death the imagination is paramount, since we cannot truly experience our own passing. But those we leave behind do, and Ricoeur posits that the idea of life after death originated in the awareness of our own end posthumously resonating with our survivors. The fragments in this volume were written over the course of the last few months of Ricoeur’s life as his health failed, and they represent his very last work. They cover a range of topics, touching on biblical scholarship, the philosophy of language, and the idea of selfhood he first addressed in Oneself as Another. And while they contain numerous philosophical insights, these fragments are perhaps most significant for providing an invaluable look at Ricoeur’s mind at work. As poignant as it is perceptive, Living Up to Death is a moving testimony to Ricoeur’s willingness to confront his own mortality with serious questions, a touching insouciance, and hope for the future. |

A Hope-filled Way Forward in Biblical Interpretation The book begins with a tremendously helpful explanation of the extreme positions taken by modernism and post-modernism in relation to interpretation. On the one hand, modernism purports a utopian trust in human reason's ability to correctly interpret and understand a text's meaning. On the other hand, post-modernism, in its extreme form, finds no meaning inherent in the text. Texts cannot refer to anything outside of themselves, and are merely internal systems of signs and symbols. Laughery finds a way forward between these two extremes of absolute certainty and absolute indeterminacy with regard to interpretation in the work of the French philosopher/hermeneutician Paul Ricoeur. Ricoeur refocuses the discussion in hermeneutics on the "world" of the text. It may seem obvious to us that a conversation about how to interpret a text would actually focus on the given text itself. But instead, the text itself is often left out of the analysis in favor of a focus on what lies "behind" the text (a Romantic notion) or on the symbols or codes that are at "play" within the text and which cannot carry meaning in themselves (the structuralist position). In his return to the text, Ricoeur demonstrates the differences and similarities between the speech act/event and the written word or text. The text, like the spoken word, referents an author, a reader, and the world created by the text itself: a speaking subject says something about something to someone. Crucial to the argument for this new hermeneutic are several other contingent discussions expounded within the book. In them, Laughery puts Ricoeur in dialogue with theologians, philosophers, and literary theorists such as R. Bultmann, H. Frei, J.D. Crossan, and David Carr. Laughery addresses at length the two extreme methodologies of structuralism (no meaning, only play) and historical criticism (meaning found in historical evidence). When these are elevated to theories rather than methods, both structuralism and historical criticism become reductionistic. Laughery shows how both are necessary to the middle process of explanation. By way of an example, Laughery takes us through a comparison of Ricoeur and Crossan's work on the parables of Jesus. Crossan correctly shows the parables' ability to dis-orient the reader. However, that is where he stops. Ricoeur argues that the parables, full of meaning, also have the power to re-orient. Then, in an investigation into the current debates about narrative, Laughery shows how Ricoeur offers a balanced approach that avoids the modernist tendency to equate narrative with historical fact and the post-modern propensity to equate fiction and history. Before concluding, Laughery offers an invaluable alternative in the debate between those who argue for a consideration of authorial intent, and those who profess a reader-response theory (as in Stanley Fish's famous quote, "the reader's response is not to the meaning, it is the meaning"). He clarifies that acknowledging the intent of the author should not be equated with the extreme position that takes intent to mean psychological state. Rather, the author's intent should be located in his/her literary act. The difficulty of this read, however, is by no means the primary reason I predict that I and many others will be re-reading it for many years. Laughery, always concerned that we do not fall into the easy either-or traps that are so prevalent, is a prophetic voice in our present atmosphere of confusion over interpretation. Many of us within the Church today recognize that our current divisive issues stem from conflicting understandings of how to interpret the Bible and what it means to say that the Bible is "true." I believe that this book's relevance to our current situation will only become more and more evident. Gregory J. Laughery is a name we should be watching if we are interested in finding a hope-filled way forward with academic integrity. Even if the only thing one takes away from this book is a clearer understanding of the modernism-post-modernism problem as it relates to Biblical interpretation, it is more than worth the read. Readers will not help but start to recognize how often that problem surfaces in even the most casual of conversations about the Bible.
Exciting look at Ricouer's views on Biblical interpretation Laughery's approach is balanced and informed by extensive scholarship. He also critques Ricouer at several key points, such as the proper role of authorial intent guiding interpretation. Caution: Readers with no French ability or only a smattering of French may be frustrated by the use of citations in French (this was originally a doctoral dissertation for a Swiss university).
Paul Ricouer, by way of Greg Laughery: good! Ricouer himself has raised and answered many of these questions, but I always felt the need for a more systematic overview of this thought. If only he (or someone) would present a more comprehensive/cohering view! And Greg Laughery has now done it, in his wonderful little book, "Living Hermeneutics In Motion" ("An Analysis and Evaluation of Paul Ricoeur's Contribution to Biblical Hermeneutics"), University Press of America, 2002. Laughery's review of the contemporary hermeneutical scene is clear and lively, and his contextualizing of Ricouer's thought extremely helpful. Most helpful, because the reader gains a better sense of just how compelling Ricouer's contribution really is. And Laughery contributes to this hermeneutical dialogue with his own refreshing insight, particularly in regard to understanding biblical parables. The author's persistent interest in negotiating "boundaries"--of text and reader, of "fiction" and "history"--help place this work among the "must reads" for persons serious enough about biblical interpretation to be at sea. Greg Laughery's mediation of Ricouer will provide interesting if not entirely "safe" harbor. ... Read more |
