`Clark does indeed provide an inclusive expository account of the body of Ricoeur's thought, including ample reference to its philosophical sources and theological resonances ... Interweaving exposition and critical comparison, Clark provides a close survey of his subject that will be of special value to those already familiar with post-structuralist theorising.' - David J.Levy, THES`Clark does indeed provide an inclusive expository account of the body of Ricoeur's thought, including ample reference to its philosophical sources and theological resonances ...
