Synopsis "The Conflict of Interpretations: Essays in Hermeneutics (Studies in Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy) "

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.

Paul Ricoeur (Valence, France, 1913 – Châtenay-Malabry, 2005) was a French philosopher known for his phenomenological-hermeneutic approach, integrating currents such as existentialism, psychoanalysis, and analytic philosophy. He developed his academic career at institutions like the universities of Strasbourg, the Sorbonne, Nanterre, and Chicago. His work focuses on the interpretation of time, identity, and memory, addressing fundamental questions about the human condition and historical narrative.

Among his most notable works are Time and Narrative (1983-1985), Oneself as Another (1990), and Memory, History, Forgetting (2000). These works explore the relationship between temporal experience, personal identity, and the representation of the past, significantly contributing to contemporary philosophy. Ricoeur received numerous accolades throughout his career, including the Balzan Prize for Philosophy in 2004.
