Reading Ricoeur through Law, edited by Marc de Leeuw, George H. Taylor, and Eileen Brennan, is the first collection of essays solely focused on Ricoeur’s thinking about law, bringing together both established and emerging scholars to offer a systematic and critical examination of Ricoeur’s legal thinking. The chapters not only explore the specific contribution Ricoeur makes to the field of jurisprudence but also examine how Ricoeur’s work on law fits, complements, or changes his overall anthropology, phenomenology, and hermeneutics. The book provides a complex insight into how law, ethics, and politics intertwine both from within law as normative rule setting, as well as through the wider social-political and historical context in which law and legal institutions affect our inter-subjective and communal life as lived “with and for others in just institutions.” The collection also makes available in English “The Just between the Legal and the Good,” a key text in Ricoeur’s reflections about law and justice. The core topics of this collection are rights, justice, responsibility, judging, interpretation, argumentation, punishment, and authority, but contributors also offer original insights in how Ricoeur’s philosophical reconceptualization of symbolism, action, ideology, narrative, selfhood, testimony, history, trauma, reconciliation, justice, and forgiveness can be made productive for our understanding of law and legal institutions.

Reading Ricoeur through Law marks a groundbreaking new development in Ricoeur studies, as the first book to explore Ricoeur’s engagement with questions of jurisprudence. Through a dialogue with influential political thinkers and legal scholars, the contributors to this volume touch on many of the deepest questions of law. They reveal the practical relevance of Ricoeur’s call for law and legal practice to be situated within the broader aim to live 'with and for others in just institutions.' In addition, they make a subtle argument for re-reading his entire work through a legal lens, revealing that concerns about law and justice are woven into the fabric of Ricoeur’s entire oeuvre.The editors and contributors deserve praise for this remarkable accomplishment. Clear, accessible, and thought-provoking, this book would be an excellent choice for an engaging seminar or reading group on present-day issues in law.
