Críticas:

John Protevi has put together a very useful dictionary and I expect it to be used extensively by students seeking clear and crisp definitions of key concepts, as well helpful and reliable accounts of the main intellectual figures, in continental philosophy. The entries are uniformly excellent and Protevi's grasp of the key concepts is first-rate. -- Keith Ansell Pearson, University of Warwick The Edinburgh Dictionary of Continental Philosophy can be recommended to novices and scholars alike because it satisfies the pressing need for a reliable guide to the most recent developments in Continental philosophy not only in Europe, but also, and more unusually, in North America -- Professor Robert Bernasconi, Lillian and Morrie Moss Professor of Philosophy, The University of Memphis [A] valuable addition to the reference library of any student or scholar in the Humanities. ... The variety of concepts, topics and areas for which it provides an analysis is ... quite impressive. -- Marios Constantinou and Maria Margaroni An authoritative reference tool. -- Marios Constantinou and Maria Margaroni John Protevi has put together a very useful dictionary and I expect it to be used extensively by students seeking clear and crisp definitions of key concepts, as well helpful and reliable accounts of the main intellectual figures, in continental philosophy.
