Beskrivning
Fallible Man is the second book in Paul Ricoeur’s early trilogy on the will and the most accessible of his early writings. While the descriptive approach of Freedom and Nature set aside all normative questions, Fallible Man removes those brackets to examine the bad will, asking what makes evil a possibility. Combining rigor and originality, Ricoeur locates the possibility of evil in a self that is fundamentally in conflict with itself. Edited by Scott Davidson, A Companion to Ricoeur's Fallible Man clarifies and contextualizes the central arguments developed in Ricoeur’s philosophy of the will, providing insight into his formative influences and themes. The collection gathers an international group of scholars who specialize in Ricoeur’s thought to shed light on an impressive range of themes from Fallible Man that resonate with contemporary debates in philosophy and religion.

The book. . . goes a long way toward filling the need for guidance in tackling this challenging work. The anthology is of the highest scholarly caliber, with incisive, probing, and useful contributions. It is a testament to its larger unity that each of the chapters offers something unique, but generally works in harmony with the rest. . . . This Companion is a rich and substantive guide to an early and pivotal work in Ricoeur's career, rendering visible its unvoiced conversations with Ricoeur's philosophical contemporaries, demonstrating its significant debt to the biblical imagination of Christian mythology, and situating it in the complex weave of Ricoeur's intellectual journey early and late. It should be clear by now that I am recommending it as something close to required reading for anyone who wishes to come to terms with one of Ricoeur's more elusive works. Because its individual chapters each contribute to important aspects of its subject, both in Fallible Man's internal argument and its relation to the larger oeuvre, the collection offers a pleasant exception to academic anthologies that serve as loosely related occasional works around a theme. Itwill sit on my bookshelf as a durable reference for a key text.
