American Continental Philosophy: A Reader

Edited by Walter Brogan, Edited by James Risser






| book description |

Continental philosophy was first introduced to America by expatriate Europeans after the Second World War. During the 1950s and 1960s, American-born philosophers assimilated the thought of Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Sartre, and others, and through their teaching and writing continental philosophy took root and developed its own American character. In recent decades continental philosophy has come into its own on this side of the ocean and has become increasingly influential, not only within philosophy but also in many other academic disciplines.;This is the first anthology to gather in one place a representative selection of the most important and original work in the continental tradition being done in North America. Reflecting the diversity of the field, the anthology includes 15 essays that take as their points of departure such approaches as deconstruction, feminism, critical theory, hermeneutics, pragmatism, and psychoanalysis, as well as phenomenology and existentialism. This state-of-the-art sampler, showcasing the richness and scope of American continental philosophy, will be of value to all segments of the philosophical community.
