The present volume contains the proceedings of an
international conference that was held at the Faculty of Theology of the
Catholic University of Leuven, October 28 to 31, 2008. Poetics' and
religion' take an important place in Ricoeur's oeuvre; yet they still
require further investigation. The common link between these two concepts may
well be found in the creative dimension of language. Poetics reflect upon it;
religion turns to it for help in expressing the experience of the transcendent.
Ricoeur has explored and offered ways for reflecting precisely upon this
junction. Contributors have studied the many ways these concepts function in the
earlier and in the later work, and how they have been used and received in
various in various fields and disciplines, including theology. Scholars have
been working with Ricoeur in anthropology, ethics, Biblical studies, systematic
and practical theology, intercultural philosophy, spirituality, and other
disciplines, which together makes for a wide palette of interpretations.
Ricoeur's audacious explorations on the intersection of creative language,
religion, and philosophical reflection continue to open new ways for reflection
in many different fields.
