18th Annual Society for Ricoeur Studies Conference 2024

The theme of the conference commemorates the 50th anniversary of a remarkable series of courses on imagination, metaphor, and religious language taught by Paul Ricoeur at the University of Chicago and the Divinity School from 1974 to 1975. The conference will provide an opportunity not only to look back at Ricoeur’s work in the 1970s but also to think creatively about the ongoing relevance and application of Ricoeur’s philosophy to cultural, social, political and religious imaginaries today.
