The Rule of Metaphor: The Creation of Meaning in Language de Paul Ricoeur

The Rule of Metaphor: The Creation of Meaning in Language

Autor Paul Ricoeur
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 aug 2003
Paul Ricoeur is widely regarded as one of the most distinguished philosophers of our time. In The Rule of Metaphor he seeks 'to show how language can extend itself to its very limits, forever discovering new resonances within itself'. Recognizing the fundamental power of language in constructing the world we perceive, it is a fruitful and insightful study of how language affects how we understand the world, and is also an indispensable work for all those seeking to retrieve some kind of meaning in uncertain times.

Recenzii

'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
