Bengt Kristensson Uggla's reflections start from an understanding of globalization as an 'age of hermeneutics', linking the seldom related problematic of globalization with hermeneutics through Ricoeur's concept of interpretation. The book proceeds to embrace lifelong learning as the emerging new life script of the globalized knowledge economy, the post-national 'memory wars' generated by the celebration of national anniversaries, and the need for orientation in a post-modern world order. The author argues that Ricoeur's hermeneutics provide intellectual resources of extraordinary importance in coping with some of the most important challenges in the contemporary world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bengt Kristensson Uggla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441164308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441164308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Continuum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Bengt Kristensson Uggla","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48153661636863,"sku":"9781441164308","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7be5fc7d-18b6-498c-b194-36e4923124da.jpg?v=1770784979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ricoeur-hermeneutics-and-globalization-bengt-kristensson-uggla-9781441164308","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
