Contemporary European Philosophy

📙 This book hopes to achieve a double purpose. First, it aims at providing a general guide in the domain of contemporary philosophy for the reader who is without any specialist training in the subject; second, it is hoped that those who have completed this general survey will find suggestions here for more systematic studies of their own. These considerations taken together formed an urgent motive for this undertaking, because apart from the work of M. F. Sciacca (in Italian) we have no recent introductory survey which gives an account of either the growing penetration, or the newly won regions of contemporary thought. I feel that this introduction is all the more justified in that Sciacca's otherwise excellent book does not fulfil my second purpose.Издательство: University of California Press
