Paul Ricoeur & Living Hermeneutics

Autor Gregory J. Laughery
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Paul Ricoeur was one of the most prolific thinkers of the twentieth century. There have been many books written on Ricoeur's philosophy, but very little is available on his theological trajectory and its connection to biblical interpretation. Gregory Laughery's Living Hermeneutics aims to fill that lacuna. He brings to life the diverse ways in which Ricoeur's work can contribute to and open up viable possibilities for critiquing both modernist and postmodernist orientations, while offering new theological and hermeneutical directions for understanding the text, the reader, and the world. This book is aimed at a broad student audience, as well as the interested general reader who would like to know more about Ricoeur.

Notă biografică

Gregory J. Laughery (D.Th., University of Fribourg, Suisse) lives and writes in Switzerland. This book is the next exciting step of the journey from time, narrative, and memory, to imagination. Living Imagination. Who Am I & What is Real? is the culmination of several years of reflection on Imagination and how it has been perceived by philosophers, poets, and theologians. Laughery shows that many, especially Christians, have viewed imagination negatively. His book critiques this inadequate 'picture' and replaces it with a much more positive orientation. He writes: "When we lose the ability to understand that centaurs and dragons are more real than technology and mechanisms, we're in deep trouble. Impoverished imaginations destroy faith and meaning, whereas living imaginations promote them."
