Portraits of American Continental Philosophers

New Ed edition

Through engaging autobiographical essays and phdtographs, Portraits American Continental Philosophers introduces twenty-two leading conte porary American philosophers whose work falls under, the rubric of “continental philosophy.” These essays trace the personal philosophical journeys and orientations of a remarkable group of men and women, revealing a fascinating array of intellectual inspirations—tales of the lives of saints and mystics, an undergraduate encounter with Hume or Locke, the shock of a racially segregated society, the experience of mirrors reflecting each other to infinity, Martin Heidegger’s probing gaze, the explosion of student unrest in 1968, or a Holocaust survivor’s search for explanations. Taken together, these intimate self-portraits provide a vibrant overview of the multiplicity and depth of continental philosophy in America.

Contributors are Debra Bergoften, Robert Bernasconi, John D. Caputto, Edward S. Casey, Bernard Flynn, Thomas R. Flynn, Patrick A. Heelan, Douglas Kellner, Joseph J. Kockelmans, David Farrell Krell, David Michael Levin, Alphonso Lingis, Bernd Magnus, David M. Rasmussen, William J. Richardson
