Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) was one of the most prolific and influential French philosophers of the Twentieth Century. In his enormous corpus of work he engaged with literature, history, historiography, politics, theology and ethics, while debating 'truth' and ethical solutions to life in the face of widespread and growing suspicion about whether such a search is either possible or worthwhile. In Ricoeur and the Hermeneutics of Suspicion, Alison Scott-Baumann takes a thematic approach that explores Ricoeur's lifelong struggle to be both iconoclastic and yet hopeful, and avoid the slippery slope to relativism. Through an examination of the 'hermeneutics of suspicion', the book reveals strong continuities throughout his work, as well as significant discontinuities, such as the marked way in which he later distanced himself from the 'hermeneutics of suspicion' and his development of new devices in its place, while seeking a hermeneutics of recovery. Scott-Baumann offers a highly original analysis of the hermeneutics of suspicion that will be useful to the fields of philosophy, literature, theology and postmodern social theory.

"This book has all the virtues of Ricoeur's own work: wide-ranging, philosophically acute, immensely well-informed, possessed of a searching critical intelligence, and capable of stretching the reader's mind around questions that demand a real depth of ethical as well as philosophical engagement... a fine contribution to Ricoeur's reception-history and one that will doubtless rank high on the list of authoritative secondary literature." - Professor Christopher Norris, Cardiff University, UK 'Scott-Baumann seeks to correct the widespread attribution to French philosopher Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) a position somewhat resembling postmodern trends of pessimistic tenor, which he himself rejected. There is no such error in the French literature, she points out, so the problem may be some nuance shift when the phrase hermeneutics of suspicion is translated. Among her topics are Cartesian doubt; Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud as Ricoeur's masters of suspicion the use and abuse of the term hermeneutics of suspicion linguistic analysis methodological dialectics and philosophical anthropology. Interspersed are three views of Ricoeur's hermeneutics, focusing in turn on the archeology of suspicion, the theory of interpretation, and recovery." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.
