Since Ricoeur’s death in 2005 there has been a constant stream of interest in his Memory, History, Forgetting (2004), as well as Reflections on The Just (2007); these richly challenging works on some of the most timely and deeply human concerns being debated by philosphers today are rope for discussion not only by philosophers, but also by theologians, political theorists and all those thinking about life, loss, evil and the need for justice alongside of ‘a difficult forgiveness’. This Ricoeur symposium is supported by an Oxford-Glasgow-Chicago interdisciplinary research network related to the Critical Theory and Spiritual Practice Group at Regent’s Park College and is organised in association with the Forum for European Philosophy.
