I’ll keep this short:
Could not stop reading Memory, history, forgetting when I found it at my local bookshop as the topics greatly interest me and was drawn by Ricœur’s approach.
Many people online recommend starting elsewhere – Oneself as another, Interpretation theory, Hermeneutics and the human sciences, etc.
My background is in philosophy and I have read phenomenology before (Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Levinas), though very little hermeneutics.
Can anyone familiar with his work give me any reasons not to delve into Memory, history, forgetting before reading anything else of his?
Thank you.
