Excellent Anthology, April 5 2005
By Fellow Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Continental Philosophy: An Anthology (Paperback)
From Kant through Zizek, this anthology has something for everyone who wants to study continental philosophy. With a skillful professor, this anthology can work in almost any class. An anthology is not meant to substitute for an indepth study of the major figures, but it offers a great first exposure to the wealth of material of continental philosophy. I recommend it! There are not enough student-friendly texts out there. This is a welcomed addition.

Worst Book Ever!, Mar 9 2005
By John the Geek "John The Geek" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Continental Philosophy: An Anthology (Paperback)
I to had the misfortune of buying this book for a class (European Idealist) and found it to be of no help. You only explore parts of texts and the introductions themselves are of no help.

Don't bother buying this book, Feb 22 2005
By Christopher J. Sugar - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Continental Philosophy: An Anthology (Paperback)
I had to buy this book for one of my upper divison Lit. Theory classes and the price I paid for it balanced against the number of texts out of it we had to read isn't worth it. You can save yourself a lot of money and actually do yourself some good by just buying all the book in this anthology and keeping them for future reference. Price, however, isn't my largest complaint with this book; the fact that it doesn't have ONE complete text and gives you only bits and pieces doesn't clue you in to other important aspects of these philosophers! If you have to buy this book be forewarned that it's a waste of money and will be of no use to you to save for the future. The only good thing about it is it at least gives you a PREVIEW of important works of continental philosophy
