Críticas:

"West's ability as a story teller makes this a thoroughly interesting read regardless of one's degree of expertise in the subject. It is an exemplary introduction." Sociological Review "A real accomplishment. It is a lucid and expansive guide to a body of theoretical literature that is at times intimidating and dense." International Philosophical Quarterly "Thoughtful, thoroughly researched, well written, Continental Philosophy invites students and scholars to engage in a rich and interesting tradition." Teaching Philosophy "This second edition does more than introduce continental philosophy; it makes it interesting and intriguing." Philip Pettit, Princeton University "David West's interpretations of the major figures of continental philosophy are succinct and insightful. He reads continental philosophy as a reaction to Enlightenment rationalism and as a potential foundation for emancipatory politics. This edition includes a courageous critique of several important recent figures: Agamben, ?i?ek and Badiou. West provides an illuminating and thorough introduction to the continental tradition." William R. Schroeder, University of Illinois
