Description: In this book, Bernard P. Dauenhauer identifies an intellectual unity in Ricoeur's examinations of action, history, time, and language. The author argues that the central feature of Ricoeur's political thought is his claim that everything political is both paradoxical and historical. Dauenhauer details the influences of Aristotle, Kant, and Hegel on Ricoeur's thinking, as well as his intellectual dialogue with such interlocutors as Habermas, Levinas, Rawls, and Walzer.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 327-328) and index.
