Zusatztext This book offers thorough and brilliant analyses of Paul Ricoeur's intellectual legacy in its relevance for current debates in political theory and ethics. It is a key collection that provides a wealth of fresh perspectives built on many convincing reconstructions of the main intentions, trajectories, and new departures of his multi-faceted hermeneutics of the self in its cultural mediations. Scholars of politics, ethics, law, social theory, philosophy and theology will find the tools of philosophy at work in clarifying the shared space and the limits of human agency, and in identifying the tasks of translating convictions and renewing symbolic resources in view of the challenges posed for democratic self-understandings in a technological age.
