Introduces Ricœur in his contemporary context and shows new features of the relationship between philosophy and theology in his thought, with human finitude as its focus. Ricœur argues that the human condition is best understood as finite and created, framed between transcendence and evil.
Can finite humans grasp universal truth? Is it possible to think beyond the limits of reason? Are we doomed to failure because of our finitude? In this clear and accessible book, Barnabas Aspray presents Ricœur''s response to these perennial philosophical questions through an analysis of human finitude at the intersection of philosophy and theology. Using unpublished and previously untranslated archival sources, he shows how Ricœur''s groundbreaking concept of symbols leads to a view of creation, not as a theological doctrine, but as a mystery beyond the limits of thought that gives rise to philosophical insight. If finitude is created, then it can be distinguished from both the Creator and evil, leading to a view of human existence that, instead of the ''anguish of no'' proclaims the ''joy of yes.''
