"…for Ricoeur scholars and anyone with an interest in understanding the vector of his later work, this collection should prove to be a valuable resource." — Journal of the British Society of Phenomenology"Ricoeur's Oneself as Another is a tremendously important work that has received far too little attention in the secondary literature. Here, some of the most important voices in continental philosophy in America address a variety of the questions he raises: subjectivity, intentionality, personal identity, philosophy of action, narrative, alterity, theology, evil, political liberalism, and discourse ethics. Each essay situates Ricoeur's thought within broader philosophical debates." — David M. Kaplan, Polytechnic University"This is quite simply one of the best volumes on the subject." — Joseph Bien, author of History, Revolution, and Human Nature: Marx's Philosophical Anthropology"This book represents 'cutting edge' Ricoeur scholarship. An anthology like this should set the standard for the future discussion of Ricoeur's contribution to the philosophical literature of our time." — Brice Wachterhauser, author of Beyond Being: Gadamer's Post-Platonic Hermeneutic Ontology
