Paul Ricœur: Symbols of Good and Evil in History, the Bible and in our Time
European Journal for Philosophy of Religion 12 (4):161-174 (2020)
Abstract
In his The Symbolism of Evil Ricœur explores the dynamics of human consciousness of evil in different cultures and times. Consciousness of evil is examined by looking at the different prevailing symbols wherein human beings confess their experience with evil. Although appeared in 1960, this study is still cited in recent publications in psychology, cultural anthropology and religion. In this article I describe the context of The Symbolism of Evil as the last part of Ricœur’s study of the will and give a summary of its relevant content.My notes
