“Primarily an inquiry into the foundations of language and hermeneutics…[Ricoeur uses] the Freudian ‘hermeneutics of suspicion’ as a corrective and counter-balance for phenomenology and create a ‘new phenomenology’…This important work…should have an impact upon serious thinking in philosophy, theology, psychology, and other areas which have been affected by Freud studies.”—International Philosophical Quarterly
“A stimulating tour de force that allows us to envisage both the psychoanalytic body of knowledge and the psychoanalytic movement in a broad perspective within the framework of its links to culture, history and the evolution of Western intellectual thought.” – Psychoanalytic Quarterly
Paul Ricoeur is a professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago and the University of Paris.
"Paul Ricoeur . . . has written an important book, a stimulating tour de force that allows us to envisage both the psychoanalytic body of knowledge and the psychoanalytic movement in a broad perspective within the framework of its links to culture, history, and the evolution of Western intellectual thought. . . . I can only feel that Freud would have regarded this critique as a challenge and a tribute."?Psychoanalytic Quarterly
"This rich, illuminating and profound analysis of Freudian psychoanalysis in light of a general study of hermeneutics is a work which attempts to probe the role of interpretation in Freudian thought and the 'dialectic of archaeology' pertaining to the development of the self. . . . This essay is a fertile analysis of Freudian thought from a phenomenological, philosophical perspective. It is the kind of work which shows that philosophy can be enriched by projecting itself into significant areas outside its strict province. Ricoeur has indicated the power of philosophical reflection when it is able to overcome a tendency to become preoccupied with an examination of its own analytical entrails."?Modern Schoolman
"Primarily an inquiry into the foundations of language and hermeneutics [which] should have an impact upon serious thinking in philosophy, theology, psychology, and other areas which have been affected by Freudian studies."?International Philosophical Quarterly
"Since Professor Ricoeur's 1961 Terry Lectures were published, in French, there has been nothing in the flood of books on psychoanalysis to approach them in philosophic depth and scholarship. Now admirably translated and handsomely produced, they should give rise to much close-woven discussion in English-speaking countries."?Times Literary Supplement
"A unique survey of the panorama of Freudian thought by an observer who, although starting from outside, succeeds in penetrating to its core."?American Journal of Psychiatry
