Description

From the outset, Paul Ric&oelig;ur&rsquo;s work gives centrality to man&#39;s bodily and sensitive nature&mdash;his primordial affectivity and fragility&mdash;as sources of free action. <i>From Vulnerability to Promise: Perspectives on Ric&oelig;ur from Women Philosophers</i> explores this dimension and its ethical, political, and conceptual implications, focusing on the embodied dimension of existence, its vulnerability, and its possibilities of attestation and recognition. Edited by Sophie-Jan Arrien and Beatriz Contreras, this book examines the relationships&mdash;passivity and activity, mind and body, singularity and sociality, finitude and transcendence&mdash;that lie at the heart of Ric&oelig;ur&rsquo;s philosophical anthropology, revealing its ontological richness and ethical significance. Within this dimension, the ten contributors approach personal human identity in Ric&oelig;ur&rsquo;s work from multiple perspectives: the narrative dimension of understanding; birth and privacy; freedom and recognition; love and consent; justice and respect in the face of abuse; the vulnerability of our natural environment; our inescapable finitude. These viewpoints are informed by both their vision as women philosophers, empowering their embodied condition in a reflexive way, and the urgency of reflecting on the human condition in order to find continuity between its passionate, affective, and finite forces.
