Collected and translated by John B. Thompson, this collection of essays by Paul Ricoeur includes many that had never appeared in English before the volume's publication in 1981. As comprehensive as it is illuminating, this lucid introduction to Ricoeur's prolific contributions to sociological theory features his more recent writings on the history of hermeneutics, its central themes and issues, his own constructive position and its implications for sociology, psychoanalysis and history. Presented in a fresh twenty-first-century series livery, and including a specially commissioned preface written by Charles Taylor, illuminating its enduring importance and relevance to philosophical enquiry, this classic work has been revived for a new generation of readers.

While other notables and less notables have written about hermeneutics, no one has yet exceeded Paul Ricoeur Hermeneutics and the Human Sciences. Those who have written about hermeneutics in the context of philosophy and philology tend to be in the murky side of the pond. Further, hermeneutics as a sub-field of philosophy would benefit greatly by integrating Ricoeur's discussion. Unfortunately the adoption of hermeneutics as per Ricoeur within the nominal social sciences is going to be a slow process due to the deep investment in the pretenses of positivist social "sciences." The reflexive nature of hermeneutics applied in the domain of the social sciences demands a higher regard, particularly as presented by Ricoeur.
