About this listen

In this enlightening Very Short Introduction, Simon Critchley shows us that Continental philosophy encompasses a distinct set of philosophical traditions and practices, with a compelling range of problems all too often ignored by the analytic tradition. He discusses the ideas and approaches of philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Habermas, Foucault, and Derrida. He also introduces key concepts such as existentialism, nihilism, and phenomonology, by explaining their place in the Continental tradition.

The perfect guide for anyone interested in the great philosophers, this volume explains in lucid, straightforward language the split between Continental and Anglo-American philosophy and the importance of acknowledging Continental philosophy.

This is a essay rather than a gloss introduction guide - as much about what is it do philosophy as the contribution of European Names - to that practice - the dynamic between truth-knowledge and wisdom in the ends comes down to how we treat ‘natural kinds’ in our thinking of critical praxis and human freedom. I highly recommend.
