Rezensionen
"Schroeder has a masterful command of the Continental tradition after Kant in European philosophy. He presents a comprehensive critical introduction to the philosophers who have shaped it, in an admirably clear and concise idiom that is readily accessible to academics, students, and general readers alike."

Richard Schacht, University of Illinois

"This is an enormously impressive work. In the fashion of a panoramic mosaic, it assembles incisive analyses of the host of thinkers who comprise the 'Continental Tradition' in philosophy. Like no other book before it, it succeeds not only in helping us to understand the past, but also defines an array of future tasks that those working in this field will have to address."

Frithjof Bergmann, University of Michigan

"Schroeder captures Continental philosophy s complex trajectory in clear and thoughtful language. Along the way, he offers provocative challenges to many of its central figures."

Todd May, Clemson University
