Title: Contemporary continental philosophy
First published: 1999
Description: Contemporary Continental Philosophy steps back from current debates comparing continental and analytic philosophy and carefully yet critically outlines the tradition's main philosophical views on epistemology and ontology. Forgoing obscure paraphrases, D'Amico provides a detailed, clear account and assessment of the tradition from its founding by Husserl and Heidegger to its challenge by Derrida and Foucault.

Though intended as a survey of this tradition throughout the twentieth century, this study's focus is on the philosophical problems that gave it birth and continue to shape it.
Subjects: Continental philosophy, Modern Philosophy, European Philosophy
