"This is the best recent book on Ricoeur's work precisely because the contributors are all well respected and widely published experts in their disciplines who bring to bear on their work various aspects of Ricoeur's extensive philosophy. So, unlike other collective works on Ricoeur, this book is about various aspects in philosophy, theology, religion, history, political theory, law, rhetoric, psychoanalysis, education, women's studies, race studies, and musicology. What it shows is the pervasive influence of Ricoeur's insights and analyses on these disparate disciplines. While each essay is independent of the others, they have in common the use of some facet of Ricoeur's vast and varied oeuvre to elucidate one or more issues in that discipline. I applaud Scott Davidson for editing this collection of extraordinarily interesting essays from the very best scholars in a multitude of disciplines." -- Charles Reagan, Professor of Philosophy, Kansas State University, USA
