In Response to the Religious Other: Ricoeur and the Fragility of Interreligious Encounters (Studies in the Thought of Paul Ricoeur)

In The Vast Collection Of His Writings, The French Philosopher Paul Ricoeur Only Sporadically Raised The Issue Of Interreligious Dialogue. In This Book, Comparative Theologian Marianne Moyaert Argues That Ricoeur'ss Hermeneutical Philosophy Offers Valuable Signposts For A Better Understanding Of The Complexities Related To Interreligious Dialogue. By Revisiting The Key Insights Of Ricoeur's Wider Oeuvre From The Perspective Of Interfaith Dialogue, Moyaert Elaborates A Ricoeurian Interreligious Hermeneutic. In Response To The Religious Other Provides A Coherent Interreligious Reading Of Ricoeur's Philosophy Of Religion, His Hermeneutical Anthropology, His Ethical Hermeneutics. Moyaert Shows That Ricoeur Makes An Exceptionally Rewarding Conversation Partner For Anyone Wishing To Explore The Complex Issues Associated With Interreligious Dialogue. This Book Is Essential For Studies Of Hermeneutics, Ethics, Religious Philosophy, Global Cooperation And Hospitality, Comparative Theology, And Religious Identity. -- Provided By Publisher Ricoeur And The Unfulfilled Promise Of Humanism -- Religion And Symbolic Violence -- Ricoeur And Küng On The (im)possibility Of A Global Ethic -- Fragile Religious Identities -- Translating Religions: Toward A Hermeneutics Of Interreligious Hospitality -- Comparative Theology As Vulnerable Theology.
