Dowling's \u003ci\u003eRicoeur on Time and Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e is impeccable; Dowling knows Ricoeur inside out. He highlights Ricoeur's most important arguments, presents them in a limpid, concise language, and links them to the relevant nineteenth- and twentieth-century philosophical developments. Dowling's book provides us with a lucid, intelligible version of Ricoeur's major work, one that will be of considerable significance to philosophers, historians, and literary theorists.\" —Thomas Pavel, Gordon J. Laing Distinguished Service Professor of French Literature, and the Committee on Social Thought, University of Chicago\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"William C. Dowling's \u003ci\u003eRicoeur on Time and Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e is a subtle and remarkably well-sustained piece of work. It provides a detailed introduction to a major work of philosophy and narrative theory—already a considerable achievement, given the difficulty of Ricoeur's text. However, Dowling also shows us, sometimes explicitly, sometimes simply through the way he conducts his argument, why we should bother with Ricoeur—what we have to gain from knowing him better than we do, however well we may think we know him.\" —Michael Wood, Princeton University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This subtle and remarkably well-sustained piece of work provides a detailed introduction to a major work of philosophy and narrative theory.” —Michael Wood, Princeton University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003ci\u003eRicoeur on Time and Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e strikes just the right balance by providing a succinct and substantive presentation of Ricoeur’s argument in \u003ci\u003eTime and Narrative\u003c\/i\u003e. . . . Teachers of Ricoeur’s work will appreciate Dowling’s ability to contextualize Ricoeur’s engagement with a wide range of his contemporaries, while scholars are likely to turn to it as a valuable reference point for their own engagements with specific issues in Ricoeur studies.” —\u003ci\u003ePhilosophy in Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Notre Dame Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49885720543575,"sku":"9780268204518","price":52.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780268204518.jpg?v=1737915707","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ricoeur-on-time-and-narrative-9780268204518","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
