This collection brings together twenty-two essays by Paul Ricoeur under
the topics of structuralism, psychoanalysis, hermeneutics, and religion.
In dramatic conciseness, the essays illuminate the work of one of the
leading philosophers of the day. Those interested in Ricoeur's
development of the philosophy of language will find rich and suggestive
reading. But the diversity of essays also speaks beyond the confines of
philosophy to linguists, theologians, psychologists, and psychoanalysts.
