Paul Ricoeur and Hermeneutic Phenomenology

  • Chapter
Phenomenology World-Wide

Part of the book series: Analecta Husserliana ((ANHU,volume 80))

Abstract

Paul Ricoeur was born in Valence in 1913. Having lost both parents (his mother died a few months after his birth, and in 1915 his father was killed in World War I), he was entrusted to the care of his paternal grandparents in Rennes, where he spent the first part of his youth. In secondary school, he developed an interest in philosophy under the guidance of Roland Dalbiez, a neo-Thomist scholar and the first French philosopher to write on Freud. Ricoeur received his first degree from the University of Rennes in 1933. He then obtained his maûrise in philosophy in 1934 with a thesis on Le problème de Dieu chez Lachelier et Lagneau.
