Synopsis

In this enlightening Very Short Introduction, Simon Critchley shows us that Continental philosophy encompasses a distinct set of philosophical traditions and practices, with a compelling range of problems all too often ignored by the analytic tradition. He discusses the ideas and approaches of philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Habermas, Foucault, and Derrida. He also introduces key concepts such as existentialism, nihilism, and phenomonology, by explaining their place in the Continental tradition.

The perfect guide for anyone interested in the great philosophers, this volume explains in lucid, straightforward language the split between Continental and Anglo-American philosophy and the importance of acknowledging Continental philosophy.

Goodreads review by Mohammad

کتابی برای شناخت وجوه تمایز فلسفۀ تحلیلی با فلسفۀ قاره ای. اما نباید امید داشت و اکتفا کرد به این که همیشه بتوانیم مرز بین این دو را راحت بسنجیم و بازشناسیم. روایت کتاب منسجم و منطقی بود اما بخش های پایانی و مباحث مربوط به هایدگر و کارناپ و برتراند راسل برجستگی بیشتری داشت.......more
