The 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. Each section discusses the main movements and fields of the discipline throughout the century. The authors have maintained a balance between the historian's commitment to breadth and accuracy with the commitment of the systematic philosopher to the engaged point of view and to critical reflection. The result is a distinctive reference book made up of a series of philosophical studies -an invaluable companion to anyone who is searching for a panoramic but also reliable and challenging presentation of the philosophical ideas which shaped the last century.
Recenzijas
This 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
