Jean Paul Gustave Ricoeur was a French philosopher, born in 1913 and died in 2005, best known for combining phenomenological description with hermeneutics, placing his thought within the same tradition as other major hermeneutic phenomenologists such as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Gabriel Marcel. In 2000 he was awarded the Kyoto Prize in Arts and Philosophy for having revolutionized the methods of hermeneutic phenomenology, expanding the study of textual interpretation to include the domains of mythology, biblical exegesis, psychoanalysis, the theory of metaphor and narrative theory.
