Robert Solomon, widely recognized as a leading authority of continental philosophy and respected as a philosopher in his own right, here brings together twelve of his published articles focusing on key issues in the writings of major continental philosophers including Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Sartre, and Camus. The essays not only shed light on the thought and interrelations of these writers, but also develop a set of provocative and forcefully argued original theses, and encapsulate some of the central ideas of Solomon's most important books.
Oxford has performed a valuable service by bringing together these fertile, lively, and analytically polished essays by one of the leading exponents of phenomenology and existentialism in America....These rich, detailed studies of Hegel, Nietzsche, phenomenology, and existential thought [are] highly recommended for undergraduate and graduate students. --
