The Edinburgh Companion to Twentieth-Century Philosophies

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.
