Continental Philosophy - A Contemporary Introduction (Paperback)

"Continental Philosophy: A Contemporary Introduction "surveys the main trends of European philosophy from Kant to the present. It is clearly written and accessible to students. In a novel approach, Andrew Cutrofello looks at continental philosophy through the lens of four questions that derive from Kant:
-How is truth disclosed aesthetically?
-To what does the feeling of respect attest?
-Must we despair, or may we still hope?
-What is the meaning of philosophical humanism?
Cutrofello shows how these questions have been taken up by (1) phenomenologists, (2) continental ethicists, (3) hermeneuticians and critical theorists, and (4) existentialists and their critics. In the introduction and conclusion, he explains how the questions raised by continental philosophers differ from their analogues in the analytic tradition. With its frequent references to Shakespeare, Cutrofello's style is lively and engaging. His remarkably comprehensive book will be of interest not only to students but to anyone seeking a reliable overview of the continental tradition.
