Description:

Simon Glendinning provides a clear picture of the current state of the contemporary philosophical culture by tracing the origins and development of the idea of a 'distinctive' Continental tradition.

Synopsis:

The idea of Continental Philosophy has never been properly explained in philosophical terms. In this short and engaging book Simon Glendinning attempts finally to succeed where others have failed -- although not by giving an account of its internal unity but by showing instead why no such account can be given. Providing a clear picture of the current state of the contemporary philosophical culture Glendinning traces the origins and development of the idea of a distinctive Continental tradition, critiquing current attempts to survey the field of contemporary philosophy.
