Media Reviews
With his usual, gifted editorial acumen, Scott Davidson has drawn together an impressive international group of Ricoeur scholars to help demonstrate the continuing vitality of Ricoeur's book Freedom and Nature for the 21st century. The present volume is to be commended for its elucidation and deepening of Ricoeur's themes in Freedom and Nature on their own terms, in relation to Ricoeur's subsequent corpus, and in dialogue with contemporary scholarly debates. -- George Taylor, University of Pittsburgh
This companion to one of Ricoeur's earliest and perhaps least accessible works brings together an impressive group of commentators who ably demonstrate the originality and significance of Ricoeur's thought as it bears on traditional and current debates in phenomenology, philosophy of mind, philosophy of action, and ethics. The companion is not only a guide to an essential and often overlooked text, but it also re-interprets Ricoeur's philosophical foundations in view of his overall project and how it bears on key convergences in today's post-continental-analytic milieu. -- Todd Mei, University of Kent
