This book outlines the trajectory from Paul Ric¿ur¿s The Symbolism of Evil to his writings devoted to psychoanalysis, the common thread being the residue left by the subject of evil, which guided Ric¿ur to Freud. This book is a collection following two Fonds Ric¿ur summer workshops co-organized with the Society for Ric¿ur Studies at the Ric¿ur Archive in Paris. It is a groundbreaking work for those interested in Ric¿ur, Freud and religion.
