Le mal et la symbolique

The contributions in this book address the relation between evil, symbolism and psychoanalysisc by focusing on the two works of Ri?ur in which these topics play the most prominent role: The Symbolism of Evil and Freud and Philosophy.
Furthermore, the bilingual book includes contributions that examine the relation between evil, symbolism and psychoanalysis in Ric?ur's work in a more general fashion, by investigating his philosophy as a whole. It brings together both French and English chapters from leading Ric?ur scholars from over the world.
The international multilinguistic perspective reflects Ric?ur's spirit who said that when he worked on a book, all of the others were simultaneously open on his writing table. It is a groundbreaking work to those interested in Ric?ur, Freud and religion.
