This book brings together ten women philosophers to examine Paul Ricoeur's philosophical anthropology, focusing on the embodied dimension of existence, to reveal its ontological and ethical significance. The contributors examine Ricoeur's work in a variety of contexts, such as freedom and recognition, love and consent, and our inescapable finitude.
