The Continental Philosophy Reader is the first comprehensive anthology of classic writings from the major figures in European thought.

There is also a helpful chronology that allows the tradition to be seen in light of the Twentieth Century thought and culture.

Ideal for introductory courses in Continental Philosophy and Contemporary European Thought, The Continental Philosophy Reader provides a powerful introduction to one of the Twentieth Century's most influential and controversial intellectual movements.
Industry Reviews
"Finally, there is a substantive, inexpensive single volume available to us that covers more than just a single school or movement in twentieth-century European philosophical thought ... I highly recommend this book." - - David Boersema, Teaching Philosophy
