Annotation: With 58 original essays by major experts, this "Companion" volume provides the first survey of all the major figures of 19th- and 20th-century Continental philosophy. Each essay explains and develops the key ideas of a central figure or movement as they relate to such areas as art theory, cultural studies, social and political theory, psychology, and the sciences.

Core topic section headings include:


"The Kantian Legacy" (Kant to Hegel).
"Overturning the Tradition" (Marx to Bergson).
"The Phenomenological Breakthrough" (neo-Kantianism to Heidegger).
"Phenomenology, Hegelianism and anti-Hegelianism in France" (Kojeve to Blanchot).
"Religion without Limits of Reason" (Rosenzweig to Marcel).
"Three Generations of Critical Theory"(Benjamin onwards).
"Hermeneutics" (Schleiermacher to Ricoeur).
"Continental Political Philosophy" (Lukas to Castoriadis).
"Structuralism and After" (Levi-Strauss to Le Doeuff).


Key contributors include Beiser, Pippin, Caputo, Flynn, McCarthy, Laclau, Patton, and Bennington, among others.

Covering the complete development of post-Kantian Continental philosophy, this volume serves as an essential reference work for philosophers and those engaged in the many disciplines that are integrally related to Continental and European Philosophy.
