Description
Book SynopsisThe Companion is organized into two sections, each one of which reflects the developments of the Anglo-American Analytic and the Continental European philosophical traditions respectively. An appendix presents the main accomplishments of non-Western philosophies in the same time frame.
Trade ReviewThis is a volume of real merit and distinction. The coverage is comprehensive and wide-ranging, while the chapters are uniformly thorough and informative. It will prove of enormous value to students and teachers alike and can be strongly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and instructive guide to philosophical developments and movements in the 20th century. -- Keith Ansell Pearson, Professor of Philosophy, University of Warwick Constantin Boundas has assembled a stellar cast of writers who provide valuable insights into an incredible range of topics. The chapters are not isolated from each other but are cross-referenced and interconnected. There is a real attempt to make sense of the wide spectrum of 20th century philosophy. -- David Carr, Charles Howard Candler Professor of Philosophy, Emory University ...this is a book with a lot of both utilitarian and intellectual appeal. [T]his is a reference book worth buying for the many uses to which it can and will be put by readers, philosophers and non-philosophers alike. Reference Reviews
