Ricoeur and the Post-Structuralists Bourdieu, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Castoriadis (2014)

Johann Michel, Ricoeur and the Post-Structuralists Bourdieu, Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault, Castoriadis, Translated by Scott Davidson, Rowman & Littlefield, 2014
In
this important and original book, Johann Michel paves the way for a
greater understanding of Paul Ricoeur's philosophy by exploring it in
relation to some major figures of contemporary French thought—Bourdieu,
Derrida, Deleuze, Foucault and Castoriadis.
Although
the fertile dialogue between Ricoeur and various structuralist thinkers
is well documented, his position in relation to the post-structuralist
movement is less-widely understood. Does Ricoeur's philosophy stand in
opposition to post-structuralism in France or, on the contrary, is it in
fact a unique variation of that movement? This book defends the latter
statement. Michel speaks of post-structuralisms in the plural form and
engages them in a dynamic confrontation between Ricoeur and his
contemporaries in the French intellectual scene. The result is a better
understanding of Ricoeur's thought and also of the distinctive issues
that emerge through confrontation between Ricoeur and each of these
post-structuralist thinkers.
