Paul Ricœur and Rendering What Is Due to History

TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Paul Ricœur and Rendering What Is Due to History Tuesday 27 February 2024 is the 111th anniversary of the birth of Jean Paul Gustave Ricœur (27 February 1913 – 20 May 2005), who was born in Valence, France, to a Huguenot family on this date in 1913. Ricœur was, by turns, a providential and phenomenological philosopher of history for whom theology was a central concern, but that did not for Ricœur dictate a providential philosophy of history such as we find in Augustine or Bossuet. Ricœur offers us striking formulations of traditional problems in the philosophy of history and so provides us with new tools for understanding history.
