A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

The Blackwell Guide to Continental Philosophy is an accessible but sophisticated introduction to the most important figures in continental philosophy in the past two hundred years.

The newly–commissioned essays that comprise this book reflect the enormous diversity of authors, concerns, and styles encompassed by the continental tradition. Although the chapters stand on their own as comprehensive overviews of each subject, they also reveal how the thinkers presented in this volume are interconnected. They detail the ways in which these philosophers influenced one another and even explore some nasty rivalries. Among the figures and topics addressed are Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl and phenomenology, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau–Ponty, critical theory, Habermas, Gadamer, Foucault, Derrida, postmodernism, and French feminism.This book is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in continental philosophy.

Revue de presse :

A surprisingly accessible and helpful collection of essays that work well together as a ′guide′ to a much maligned but rich and important part of the history of modern philosophy. The introductions they provide to many of continental philosophy s leading lights show that good and interesting sense can be made even of the most daunting of them. Any serious student (or teacher!) of philosophy should understand at least this much of this period and these figures. Richard Schacht, University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign

"Solomon and Sherman have assembled a top–quality team of contributors for this interesting volume. This is a guide for the perplexed which should help students, general readers, and analytically–trained philosophers find their separate ways in the continental philosophy tradition." Simon Critchley, University of Essex
