Analytic Index.

"This anthology makes an important contribution to the study of
Continental philosophy in English-speaking countries, tracing its
roots back to attempts to overcome Kantian and neo-Kantian
philosophy. These articles are concise summaries and are accessible
to nonspecialists while still interesting to specialists.
Recommended for upper-division graduates, graduate students, and
faculty." Choice

"The chapters on individual writers discuss the major works,
ideas and achievements of their subject. The accounts are clear,
informative and appear to be very even handed in the discussion of
the strengths and weaknesses of the philosophers." Philosophy
and Religion
