This book offers a unique and insightful exploration of the role of imagination in advancing the realization of freedom throughout human history. Drawing on the philosophical anthropology of Paul Ricoeur, it delves into the challenges and complexities of making freedom a tangible reality.
At the core of this book lies the concept of the capable human being, as envisioned by Ricoeur, as the staging ground for an extended inquiry into the pursuit of justice. The author emphasizes the importance of recognizing the abilities we possess as human beings and using them as a means to create a more equitable and liberated world.
The book employs a hermeneutics of liberation, rooted in a philosophical anthropology that views the pathétique of human misery as its non- or pre-philosophical source. By setting the idea of humanity in each of us against the backdrop of the necessity of preserving the tension between the space of our experiences and the horizons of our expectations, the book identifies the ethical and political dimensions of the idea of justice. It demonstrates how justice serves as a federating force, bringing together the imperative of respect with the pursuit of freedom.
This book will be of immense interest to scholars and advanced students engaged in the fields of hermeneutics, phenomenology, ethics, political theory, and aesthetics. It provides a profound and thought-provoking analysis of the role of imagination in shaping our understanding of justice and the path toward a more liberated and just society.
