Feminist Explorations of Paul Ricoeur's Philosophy

This is the first volume to consider the relevance of hermeneutical philosopher Paul Ricoeur's thinking for feminist theory. Fourteen renowned scholars, including some young promising ones, critically investigate the gendered aspects of Ricoeur's main conceptions and explore new possibilities and opportunities for feminist thinking with the help of his philosophy. Among the themes addressed are justice, recognition, critique, discourse, imagination, the capable subject, and universalism.
