 Rating: - An excellent introduction to this areaThis is a lucid and intellectually stimulating introduction to the field of Continental Philosophy: I used it as a way in, having mainly had experience only of the British analytic and empirical traditions. Solomon introduces the key ideas of each thinker in a clear and helpful manner, and also makes useful links between sections throughout. His chapters on Hegel, Schopenhauer, Husserl, Heidegger and the French Existentialists were particularly helpful, not least as a lead-in to tackling Heidegger's "Being and Time". Great value, and bound to inspire you to go deeper. Rating: - Well written and amusing introduction.I bought this book almost 10 years ago, and like many other of Solomon's book, I return to it again and again. He uses a central narrative of the philosophical confrontation with the self and charts european philosophy from Rousseau to Derrida. Sections on German Romanticism and Husserl's phenomenlogy are particularly lucid and useful - all the more so as so many other histories of philosophy jump from Kant to Hegel, and only consider Husserl via either Sartre or Heidegger. Very useful academic resource.
