Études Ricœuriennes/Ricœur Studies (ERRS)
ERRS4
Hermeneutics and Social Analysis
Herméneutique et Analyse Sociale

Etudes Ricœuriennes/ Ricœur Studies (ERRS) invites submissions for a special issue devoted to the intersections between hermeneutics and the social sciences. Increased attention has recently been paid to the impact of Paul Ricœur’s oeuvre, with regard to the domains of social ontology and cognition. This issue hopes to build on the existing debates within the theories of action, social epistemology, and methodology as well by extending them to the important contributions of hermeneutics.

An original collection of essays bringing together and exploring the connections between  Hans-Georg Gadamer and Paul Ricoeur.  contents  

The second issue of Études Ricœuriennes/Ricœur Studies (ERRS).
 
If it is true that we can find in Ricœur’s writings a practical philosophy or, to borrow the words of Johann Michel, a “philosophy of human action,” then we must consider his redefinition of the concept and practices of recognition as a fundamental part of that philosophy.
 
 
Etudes ricœuriennes/ Ricœur Studies Journal: Call for papers
 
In the hope of opening ERRS to other languages besides English and French,
we have decided to assign an ad hoc scientific committee (led by César
Correa Arias, Fernando Nascimento and Gonçalo Marcelo) the task of
organizing a special issue in Spanish and Portuguese (ERRS 3). The theme of
this issue is the ethical thought of Paul Ricœur. Francophone and English
authors can, however, submit essays on any topic for consideration in the «Varia» or «Reviews» sections of the journal.

Paul Ricœur

Etre, Essence et substance chez Platon et Aristote

Course taught at the University of Strasburg 1953-54

There are several versions of the text for students of Ricœur’s famous course on Plato and Aristotle, which he taught first at Strasburg, then reworked and supplemented for the Sorbonne. It is important to restore this text within the context of contemporaneous research, and there are many researchers who see this not only as one of the best fragments of Ricœur’s teaching, but also an original philosophical reading that is important for them to be able to study.

Call for papers, Moscow and Brazil
The international conference of Ricœur Studies, entitled ‘New perspectives in social science and practical philosophy’ organised by the School for Higher Studies in Economic Sciences of Moscow, will take place in Moscow 13-17 September 2011. The main purpose of this conference is to analyse the means by which hermeneutics creates new forms for studying human action and social life.

"Memory, History, Forgetting" – texts

 

In March 2003 Paul Ricœur attended the conference “Haunted Memories? History in Europe after Authoritarianism” which was held at the Central European University of Budapest, Hungary. He delivered a lecture in English under the title:  “Memory, history, oblivion”.The first lines of this text are  "The title given to this lecture reminds that of my book :  Memory , History, Forgetting  . But, what I offer today is not a sheer survey of this three-part volume, but a kind of critical re-reading proceeding from a reversal of standpoint. [...]"

The text of this lecture has never been published in English before, though it was translated and published in French in 2006. With the permission of the Editorial Committee, we are happy to post here the original English version. (Fonds Ricoeur, October 2010)

Ecrits et conférences  2. Herméneutique

                         

Paul Ricoeur's contribution to hermeneutics is considerable. Like the first volume of his Ecrits et Conférences, this one, entitled Hermeneutics, bring together in one volume, texts  that have become difficult to locate and some which, having been published in other languages, have not yet been read by French readers. The manuscripts of these texts are to be found in the archives. These are texts that were written alongside his major works and they permit us to see the development of his research.

The edition, edited by Nicola Stricker and Daniel Frey is particularly thoughtful and educational/informative ; they seek to draw out the connections with Ricoeur's major works.
