The Rule of Metaphor
‘Ricoeur writes the best kind of philosophy – critical,
economical and clear.’
New York Times Book Review
‘The density, acuity, and sheer scope of the argument
are impressive.’
George Steiner, Times Literary Supplement
‘I do not think that anyone would fail to find illumination
and challenge in reading him.’
Anthony Giddens, Times Literary Supplement
‘The writer’s own Introduction is a wonderful discourse
on the whole state of language and meaning studies as
these touch the issue of metaphor; few thinkers are
as adept as Ricoeur at placing their own work in the
context of that of others, naming the heroes and villains.’
John B. Davis, Philosophical Studies
