This is a collection in translation of essays by Paul Ricoeur which presents a comprehensive view of his philosophical hermeneutics, its relation to the views of his predecessors in the tradition and its consequences for the social sciences. The volume has three parts. The studies in the first part examine the history of hermeneutics, its central themes and the outstanding issues it has to confront. In Part II, Ricoeur's own current, constructive position is developed. A concept of the text is formulated as the implications of the theory are pursued into the domains of sociology, psychoanalysis and history. Many of the essays appear here in English for the first time; the editor's introduction brings out their background in Ricoeur's thought and the continuity of his concerns. The volume will be of great importance for those interested in hermeneutics and Ricoeur's contribution to it, and will demonstrate how much his approach offers to a number of disciplines.

While other notables and less notables have written about hermeneutics, no one has yet exceeded Paul Ricoeur Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences. Those who have written about hermeneutics in the context of philosophy and philology tend to be in the murky side of the pond. Further, hermeneutics as a sub-field of philosophy would benefit greatly by integrating Ricoeur's discussion. Unfortunately the adoption of hermeneutics as per Ricoeur within the nominal social sciences is going to be a slow process due to the deep investment in the pretenses of positivist social "sciences." The reflexive nature of hermeneutics applied in the domain of the social sciences demands a higher regard, particularly as presented by Ricoeur.
