Trade Review"The volume covers a great deal of important ground for anyone who wishes to discern in broad brushstrokes the multiple facets of continental philosophy today." - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews "This work is not one more assessment of continental philosophy. In its contemporary edge, its interdisciplinary scope, and its acute vision of the future, it represents a crucial intervention in its field, one that may well define what will come to be called 'continental philosophy' for years to come." - John Mullarkey, Philosophy, University of Dundee
