The History of Continental Philosophy

Awarded Honorable Mention in the category of multi-volume reference work in the 2010 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence "This outstanding eight-volume work opens up new vistas and possibilities by bringing canonical figures, the necessary supporting cast, and marginal voices often given short shrift in less comprehensive histories into sharp focus. This history recounts Continental philosophy's liberating role in philosophical thought and will deepen readers' understanding, whether they be advanced undergraduates or seasoned scholars. Essential." - Choice "A superb and absolutely unique project that will be an invaluable resource for students and teachers of continental philosophy. The academic rigor and quality of the project is truly exemplary and is unlike anything currently on the market. It will be a landmark publication that will provide the first comprehensive history of continental philosophy in the English language (probably the first in any language)." - Michael Naas, DePaul University, Chicago Beginning with Kant and the earliest responses to his critical philosophy and ending with the latest developments in continental thinking across a range of disciplines, these volumes present the first coherent and comprehensive history of the continental tradition of philosophy. The essays, all newly commissioned, cover not only all the major philosophers and schools but also relevant thinkers and movements outside philosophy. Together, these volumes offer a unique resource for understanding the complex and interconnected history of continental philosophy.
