More precisely, it offers a <span style="font- style:italic;">sustained engagement with Ricoeur's political thought in a way that demonstrates both the significance of the political in his own thinking throughout his career, and how Ricoeur's understanding of the political offers something valuable to current discussions in political philosophy. A second goal is to begin to fill a gap in Ricoeur studies and situate his work on political ethics more fully in contemporary discussions about political thought. In this way, Ricoeur can be seen as a figure pertinent to recent trends in political philosophy that make political thinking more realistic to the conditions for political life. The various essays in the book move along intersecting but different trajectories. First, as some of these essays attest, the concept of the political is a pervasive theme that runs throughout Ricoeur's corpus. In this way a theme throughout the book examines this notion of the political, as well as how it relates to his more well known work in other areas. Second, and related, the historical understanding of perennial issues in political philosophy are most often updated by those standing in the lineage of those who have come before. As such, Ricoeur's hermeneutical orientation has moved him to engage contemporaries who attempt to "think forward" in various ways this tradition for current situations. Unlike most who engage in political thought, Ricoeur goes where others dare not, namely, to those who appear to be opponents but, as he shows, offer perspectives worth more consideration in the name of the best of political thinking. In this light, Ricoeur's hermeneutical orientation is again a unique framework for understanding the nature of political engagement, an orientation in what follows that highlights the ways that Ricoeur and a Ricoeurian perspective cross philosophical orientations to develop a unique understanding of political thought that is different. <br /> 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Ricœur, Paul|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79056642|xPolitical and social views.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2002011435 600 17 Ricœur, Paul.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/35920 650 0 Political science|xPhilosophy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh88004669 650 7 Political and social views.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1353986 650 7 Political science|xPhilosophy.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1069819 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Johnson, Greg,|d1964-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2010066782|eeditor. 700 1 Stiver, Dan R.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n95039579|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tPaul Ricoeur and the task of political philosophy.|dLanham, Md. : Lexington Books, ©2013 |z9780739167731|w(DLC) 2012028758|w(OCoLC)808810641 830 0 Studies in the thought of Paul Ricoeur.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013008337 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=498266|zOnline eBook.
