Ricœur's work contributed to which of these fields?

  • Linguistics

  • Biology

  • Literary Criticism

Answer

In literary criticism, Paul Ricœur's work has been profoundly influential. He developed the concept of "the text as a symbolic work" and argued that literary works should be interpreted through the lens of their linguistic structures and rhetorical devices, rather than solely relying on subjective impressions. This approach, known as "hermeneutic phenomenology," has shaped modern literary theory and criticism.
