History and Truth (Northwestern University Studies in Phenomenology & Existential Philosophy) Book

In this volume, Paul Ricoeur investigates the antinomy between history and truth, or between historicity and meaning.

Imposing unity upon truth, or unifying the diversity of knowledge and opinion, creates a singular and universal history but destroys historicity and subjectivity. Allowing for singularities in history promotes a multiplicity of truths over a single, unique truth, and thereby annihilates system.Read More
