Paul Ricoeur - Creativity in Language

Paul Ricoeur argues that creativity in language comes from new meanings arising from metaphor and innovative uses of words. While ordinary language relies on established meanings, creative language generates new meanings by placing words in new contexts. This challenges readers to rethink their understanding of concepts and see them in a new light.
