Summary:	Contemporary Continental Philosophy steps back from current debates comparing continental and analytic philosophy and carefully yet critically outlines the tradition's main philosophical views on epistemology and ontology. Forgoing obscure paraphrases, D'Amico provides a detailed, clear account and assessment of the tradition from its founding by Husserl and Heidegger to its challenge by Derrida and Foucault. Though intended as a survey of this tradition throughout the twentieth century, this study's focus is on the philosophical problems that gave it birth and continue to shape it.

Description
Summary:	Presenting a study of the central philosophical ideas within the continental tradition throughout the 20th century, this volume traces problems in epistemology and ontology through the key works of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Mannheim, Lukacs, Gadamer, Habermas, Foucault and Derrida. It covers such topics as whether philosophy is an autonomous discipline and whether its traditional disputes are resolvable. The author criticizes central philosophical strategies within this tradition, but also strives to preserve its philosophical insights and contributions.
