About the Book

An essential new reference tool for anyone working in Continental Philosophy.

Book Synopsis

Originally published as the Continuum Companion to Continental Philosophy, this book offers the definitive guide to contemporary Continental thought. It covers all the most pressing and important themes and categories in the field - areas that have continued to attract interest historically as well as topics that have emerged more recently as active areas of research. Twelve specially commissioned essays from an international team of experts reveal where important work continues to be done in the field and, valuably, how the various topics intersect. Featuring a series of indispensable research tools, including an A to Z of key terms and concepts, a chronology, and a guide to practical research in the field, this is the essential reference tool for anyone working in and studying Continental Philosophy.

Review Quotes

"However, for a professor or graduate student at the Masters level, this book would surely bring stimulating ideas, and even inspiring ideas, with an outside perspective which allows distance and a general overview, allowing the reader to go further up." --Yves Laberge, Ph.D.
