The contributions in this book address the relation between evil, symbolism and psychoanalysisc by focusing on the two works of Riur in which these topics play the most prominent role: The Symbolism of Evil and Freud and Philosophy. Furthermore, the bilingual book includes contributions that examine the relation between evil, symbolism and psychoanalysis in Ricurs work in a more general fashion, by investigating his philosophy as a whole. It brings together both French and English chapters from leading Ricur scholars from over the world. The international multilinguistic perspective reflects Ricurs spirit who said that when he worked on a book, all of the others were simultaneously open on his writing table. It is a groundbreaking work to those interested in Ricur, Freud and religion.
