Description

Paul Ricoeur's "Fallible Man", the second work in the trilogy known collectively as "The Philosphy of the Will", continues the phenomenological interrogation of human being begun in "Freedom and Nature" and introduces the all-important concept of "fault" first thematized by Jean Nabert. The notions of fault and fallibility initially investigated in this work are treated extensively in "The Symbolism of Evil", and "Fallible Man" is essential to the understanding of Ricoeur's analysis as he moves from his earliest anthropological inquiries through his theory of symbols and, later, to his philosophy of language and metaphor. Clearly the most accessible of Ricoeur"s early texts, "Fallible Man" offers the reader insight into the nature of fallibility, an introduction to phenomenological method and a clear and vivid way into the vaster project.
