This collection of essays on political and social themes is a supplement to an earlier anthology, History, and Truth, first published in 1954 and revised and enlarged in 1964 (English translation, 1965).' That series of articles showed the social and political concerns in Ricoeur's work's background from the beginning. In the Preface to the first edition, Ricoeur mentioned four interests in his life: university teacher, student of the history of philosophy, member of the Esprit editorial staff, and listener to the Christian message. Whereas History and Truth highlighted the first two of these interests, this collection of later essays shows the equal effect of the latter two interests on Ricoeur's work.
