From the rear cover

With 58 original essays by major experts, this Companion volume provides the first survey of all the major figures of 19th- and 20th-century Continental philosophy. Each essay explains and develops the key ideas of a central figure or movement as they relate to such areas as art theory, cultural studies, social and political theory, psychology, and the sciences.

Core topic section headings include:

  • "The Kantian Legacy" (Kant to Hegel).
  • "Overturning the Tradition" (Marx to Bergson).
  • "The Phenomenological Breakthrough" (neo-Kantianism to Heidegger).
  • "Phenomenology, Hegelianism and anti-Hegelianism in France" (Kojeve to Blanchot).
  • "Religion without Limits of Reason" (Rosenzweig to Marcel).
  • "Three Generations of Critical Theory"(Benjamin onwards).
  • "Hermeneutics" (Schleiermacher to Ricoeur).
  • "Continental Political Philosophy" (Lukas to Castoriadis).
  • "Structuralism and After" (Levi-Strauss to Le Doeuff).

Key contributors include Beiser, Pippin, Caputo, Flynn, McCarthy, Laclau, Patton, and Bennington, among others.

Covering the complete development of post-Kantian Continental philosophy, this volume serves as an essential reference work for philosophers and those engaged in the many disciplines that are integrally related to Continental and European Philosophy.
