Paul Ricoeur: Empowering Education, Politics and Society, by Alison Scott-Baumann (Review article)

Author

  • Torsten Janson

Summary, in Swedish

Alison Scott–Baumann’s Paul Ricoeur: Empowering Education, Politics and Society employs Ricoeur’s philosophy to unpack contemporary universities’ struggles with polarisation and activism. Though short in form, this rich critical study illuminates how universities understand themselves and why fostering dialogue around disagreements and controversies can enable more inclusive, empowered academic communities, writes Torsten Janson.
