Produktbeschreibung
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.

Rezensionen
'A surprisingly accessible and helpful collection of essaysthat work well together as a 'guide' to a much maligned but richand important part of the history of modern philosophy. Theintroductions they provide to many of continentalphilosophy's leading lights show that good and interestingsense can be made even of the most daunting of them. Any seriousstudent (or teacher!) of philosophy should understand at least thismuch of this period and these figures.' Richard Schacht,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

This is a guide for theperplexed which should help students, general readers, andanalytically-trained philosophers find their separate ways in thecontinental philosophy tradition."
