Barnabas Aspray is a Junior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. He received his PhD in philosophical theology from the University of Cambridge in 2020, and is an active member of the International Network of Philosophy of Religion.

'With Ricœur at the Limits of Philosophy, Barnabas Aspray brings Ricœur clearly and directly into debate with contemporary philosophy. The question of finitude in its relation to finite and infinite is a crucial issue in twentieth-century thought. By reading the French philosopher also as a theologian, the author shows that created finitude cannot be reduced to finitude as commonly described. Based on rarely seen correspondence (especially with Gabriel Marcel) and less well-known authors (Pierre Thévenaz), this work fills a gap in Ricœur studies, using the philosopher's early works to inaugurate new frontiers between philosophy and theology. An indispensable book.' Emmanuel Falque, Catholic University of Paris
