Recognizing the fundamental power of language in constructing the world we perceive, Ricoeur reveals the processes by which linguistic imagination creates and recreates meaning through metaphor.

La presente investigación es fruto de varias preocupaciones: unas, privadas; otras, profesionales; y, otras, por último, que llamaría públicas.Preocupación privada: por no hablar de la mirada dirigida ahora a una larga vida -Después de haber reflexionado largamente-, se trata en este caso del retorno a una laguna en la problemática de Tiempo y narración y en Sí mismo como otro; en estas obras, la experiencia temporal y la operación narrativa son cotejadas de modo directo y activo, a costa de un estancamiento respecto de la memoria y, peor aun, respecto del olvido, niveles intermedios entre tiempo y narración. EDITORIAL CROQUIS ARGENTINA.

La segunda, dedicada a la historia, concierne a la epistemología de las ciencias históricas. La tercera, que culmina en una meditación sobre el olvido, se enmarca en la hermenéutica de la condición histórica de los hombres que somos.."

Criticism and Conviction offers a rare opportunity to share personally in the intellectual life and journey of the eminent philosopher Paul Ricoeur. Internationally known for his influential works in hermeneutics, theology, psychoanalysis, and aesthetics, until now, Ricoeur has been conspicuously silent on the subject of himself. In this book--a conversation about his life and work with François Azouvi and Marc de Launay--Ricoeur reflects on a variety of philosophical, social, religious, and cultural topics, from the paradoxes of political power to the relationship between life and art, and life and death. In the first of eight conversations, Ricoeur traces the trajectory of his life, recounting the origins of his convictions and the development of his intellect against the tragic events of the twentieth century. Declaring himself the "son of a victim of the First World War," Ricoeur, an orphan, sketches his early years in the house of stern but loving grandparents, and the molding of his intellect under the tutelage of Roland Dalbiez, Gabriel Marcel, and André Philip. Ricoeur tells the intriguing story of his capture and five-year imprisonment by the Germans during World War II, where he and his compatriots fashioned an intellectual life complete with a library and lectures, and where he, amazingly, was able to continue his dissertation research. Elegantly interweaving anecdotal with philosophical meditations, Ricoeur recounts his relationships with some of the twentieth century's greatest figures, such as Heidegger, Jaspers, and Eliade. He also shares his views on French philosophers and explains his tumultuous relationship with Jacques Lacan. And while expressing his deepest respect for the works of Claude Lévi-Strauss and Michel Foucault, Ricoeur reserves his greatest admiration for the narratologist Algirdas Julien Greimas. Ricoeur also explores the relationship between the philosophical and religious domains, attempting to reconcile the two poles in his thought. And readers who have struggled with Ricoeur's work will be grateful for these illuminating discussions that provide an invaluable key to his writings on language and narrative, especially those on metaphor and time. Spontaneous and lively, Criticism and Conviction is a passionate confirmation of Ricoeur's eloquence, lucidity, and intellectual rigor, and affirms his position as one of this century's greatest thinkers. It is an essential book for anyone interested in philosophy and literary criticism.

La libertad, la audacia misma que implica tal tono, hará que me pueda permitir hablar, al vuelo, de determinados temas sobre los cuales nunca antes había escrito, precisamente porque el pensamiento no había alcanzado el nivel de formula-ción y rigor que busco en general en mis escritos; éste es en especial el caso de las reflexiones acerca de la experiencia estética. Tal será quizá el principal beneficio -eso habrá de dictaminarlo el lector aportado por una palabra dicha sin tanto control.EDITORIAL DOCENCIA ARGENTINA. Este libro contiene el desarrollo de los siguientes temas: "En este mismo orden de ideas querría indicar también que, alternativamente, nos serviremos de cierto carácter disperso, pero al mismo tiempo de diversos tipos de acercamiento que hasta el momento no había llevado a cabo. Estoy pensando, por ejemplo, en los terrenos de la religión y de la filosofía, que yo había mantenido claramente separados el uno del otro por razones que siempre he intentado justificar. Pero aquí, en esta conversación en libertad, me ocuparé en mayor medida de los problemas planteados por las interferencias, por las intersecciones entre lo religioso y lo filosófico."

¿Era razonable confrontar a un científico y a un filósofo a propósito de las neurociencias, sus resultados, sus proyectos y su capacidad para sostener un debate sobre la moral, las normas o la paz? En el caso de la ciencia, había que afrontar los prejuicios de una opinión pública que de manera alternativa cree en ella, incluso le demuestra su entusiasmo, y desconfía de su dominio sobre la vida y su amenaza sobre el porvenir común. En el caso de la filosofía, había que superar el narcisismo de una disciplina que, replegada sobre su inmensa herencia textual, vive sólo preocupada por su supervivencia y en general desinteresada de los progresos recientes de las ciencias. EDITORIAL DOCENCIA ARGENTINA. Este libro contiene el desarrollo de los siguientes temas: "JEAN-PIERRE CHANGEUX.-Usted es un filósofo reconocido y admirado. Yo soy investigador. Mi vida está consagrada al estudio teórico y experimental de los mecanismos elementales del funcionamiento del sistema nervioso, y muy particularmente del cerebro humano. Si bien trato de comprender el cerebro del hombre abordándolo por sus estructuras más microscópicas, es decir, por las moléculas que lo componen, eso no excluye -muy al contrario- la voluntad de comprender sus funciones más elevadas, tradicionalmente reservadas al dominio de la filosofía: el pensamiento, las emociones, la facultad de conocer y, por qué no, el sentido moral."

"When Paul Ricoeur died in 2005, the New York Times described him as "one of the most eminent philosophers of the twentieth century." In his lifetime, Ricoeur published influential works on language, memory, identity, and history, creating an innovative blend of hermeneutics and phenomenology. Despite his major interest in the imagination, however, he never wrote a complete text on the topic. The present volume, Lectures on Imagination, fills this gap, providing an indispensable resource for philosophically inclined readers from all backgrounds. Over the course of these lectures, Ricoeur examines classical and contemporary philosophical theories of imagination, ranging from thinkers such as Aristotle, Pascal, Spinoza, Hume, and Kant to Husserl, Wittgenstein, Sartre, and Ryle. He argues that, with few exceptions, Western philosophy has focused on reproductive rather than productive imagination, thus diminishing the creative capacity of the human mind. For Ricoeur, productive imagination is a form of fiction-a new dimension of reality generated by the human mind. His theory has far-reaching implications. In all domains, we are not restricted by existing structures or institutions, because the productive imagination has the power to break through and transform our sense of our own horizons"--
