The first part of Freud and Philosophy, "Problematic," presents a profound and clear theory of signification, symbol, and interpretation. The second part, "A Reading of Freud," is required reading for anyone seriously interested in psychoanalysis. The third section includes a thoroughly audacious interpretation and criticism of Freud and a presentation of Ricoeur's own theory of symbol~particularly religious symbol~which places this study at the center of contemporary debate over the sense of myth. In this book are revealed Ricoeur the philosopher of language; Ricoeur the critic of Freud; and Ricoeur the theologian of religious symbol. The author is outstanding in all three roles, and the book that emerges has rare depth and complete relevance. Seller Inventory # 4142201
