Industry Reviews

"Wyschogrod and McKenny have assembled a splendid collection of essays by the leading theorists of the day in Continentalist ethical thought. Singly, and as a group, these essays make it plain that contemporary Continental philosophy not only has an ethical dimension but that ethics is one of the points in which its full force can really be felt. Justice and alterity are in an important sense what Continental philosophy is all about. The collection will be of enormous help to everyone from students to professors and it will fast become a basic resource for everyone working in this field." John D. Caputo, Villanova University

"These essays revisit our most basic categories and traditions of ethical reflection, and they signal quite powerfully the many ways in which ethical life does not end but indeed begins when we suspend the search for foundations and exceed the lawful calculation of duty. Readers will find here a timely and varied challenge to reconsider the role of ethics in postmodern thought." Thomas A. Carlson, University of California, Santa Barbara
