Abstract

The purpose of this volume is to provide a high‐quality, one‐volume companion to the study of philosophy in the Continental tradition. At present, there is no volume which provides the analytically trained philosopher, the interested academic in the humanities and social sciences, the postgraduate and undergraduate student in philosophy and related areas, and the lay reader, with an introductory but authoritative account of what is distinctive and compelling about Continental philosophy and which gives an overview of its diverse historical movements, main figures, and distinctive themes.
