Rezensionen

"Wyschogrod and McKenny have assembled a splendid collection ofessays by the leading theorists of the day in Continentalistethical thought. Singly, and as a group, these essays make it plainthat contemporary Continental philosophy not only has an ethicaldimension but that ethics is one of the points in which its fullforce can really be felt. Justice and alterity are in an importantsense what Continental philosophy is all about. The collection willbe of enormous help to everyone from students to professors and itwill fast become a basic resource for everyone working in thisfield." John D. Caputo, Villanova University

"These essays revisit our most basic categories and traditionsof ethical reflection, and they signal quite powerfully the manyways in which ethical life does not end but indeed begins when wesuspend the search for foundations and exceed the lawfulcalculation of duty. Readers will find here a timely and variedchallenge to reconsider the role of ethics in postmodern thought."Thomas A. Carlson, University of California, SantaBarbara
