Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains essays by seven British academics on Hegel, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Habermas, Foucault, and the "events" of 1968. Written for English-speaking readers, it describes the varied traditions within 19th and 20th century European philosophy, reflecting the dynamism and plurality within the European tradition and presenting opposing points of view. It deals with both French and German philosophers, plus Kierkegaard, and is not confined to any one school of thought. It contains a glossary of technical terms.
