Reviews

'The writer's own introduction is a wonderful discourse on the whole state of language and meaning studies as these touch the issue of metaphor; few thinkers are as adept as Ricoeur at placing their own work in the context of that of others, naming the heroes and villains.' - John B. Davis, Philosophical Studies '...the density, acuity, and sheer scope of the argument are impressive.' - Times Literary Supplement 'I do not think that anyone would fail to find illumination and challenge in reading him.' - Times Literary Supplement 'This is Ricoeur at his pedagogical best - lucid, learned, inspiring. His generous range of reference - from Aristotle and Aquinas to Heidegger and Max Black - is breathtaking.' - Richard Kearney, Author of On Stories 'I do not think that anyone would fail to find illumination and challenge in reading him.' - Times Literary Supplement
