From Ricoeur to Action engages with the thinking of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) in order to propose innovative responses to 21st-century problems actively contributing to global conflict. Ricoeur's ability to draw from a diverse field of philosophers and theologians and to provide mediation to seemingly irreconcilable views often has both explicit and implicit practical application to socio-political questions. Here an international team of leading Ricoeur scholars develop critical yet productive responses through the development of Ricoeur's thought with respect to such topics as race, environmental ethics, technology, political utopia and reinterpreting religion. Representing a new generation of Ricoeur scholarship that attempts to move beyond an exegetical engagement with his philosophy, this collection of original essays examines key problems in the 21st-century and the ways in which Ricoeur's philosophy understands the subtleties of these problems and is able to offer a productive response.As such it presents a elucidation of the practical significance of Ricoeur's thinking and an innovative contribution to resolving socio-political conflicts in the 21st century.

This volume is a pioneering engagement with Ricoeur's philosophy of political action. Taking its cue from Ricoeur's notion of politics as a "considered wager" on productive social tension, its contributors offer a rich panoply of perspectives on crucial contemporary issues, ranging from race and environment to democracy and forgiveness. Here is a treasure trove of insights into the multidimensional dialectic of socio-political life and a precious guide to the cultivation of Ricoeur's dream of the "wide citizen".
