Product Description
Paul Ricoeur's theory of hermeneutics has largely remained unexplored from the perspective of interreligious dialog. Marianne Moyaert explores this territory by unpacking some of Ricoeur's brief forays into the area. In Response to the Religious Other provides a coherent account of Ricoeur's thinking to expose the real fruitfulness of thinking through the challenges of interreligious dialogue in light of his work. To elaborate a Ricoeurian hermeneutic of interreligious dialog Moyaert deepens Ricoeur's fragmentary reflections on the encounter between religions by situating them in his wider oeuvre of philosophical, anthropological, hermeneutical, and ethical insights. The importance of this book is evident for studies of hermeneutics, ethics, religious philosophy, global cooperation and hospitality, comparative theology, and religious identity.
